Abstract

The development of a cyberwar laboratory exercise for a computer security course raises many pedagogical and management issues relating to the structure of the laboratory, its network and the exercise itself. We have designed, implemented and given such an exercise, and faced many of these issues. Evaluation of this exercise leads to multiple insights about the proper goals, structure and implementation of such an exercise.
