US Cyber Range Lab
|
|
Have you noticed that Unit 2, Lesson 3 has a new cyber range lab?
|
|
|
|
|
The credential harvesting lab provides students with an early hands-on experience with the Social Engineering Toolkit. Students launch the Kali VM and a Windows 7 VM so they can see both sides of the attack. Login credentials on the Windows VM are captured on the Kali machine. There is a second lab that demonstrates an Adversary-in-the-Middle attack. The introduction to Linux is still in Unit 3. This lab can be completed prior to Unit 3 as it uses minimal commands and SEToolkit.
|
|
Make sure you download the updated lab files for Unit 2 through 5 on the Teach Cyber website.
Once you log in, you can find the new labs on the Lessons & Labs page.

Enabling Access to High School Cybersecurity: CyberSupply or CyberDrought?
|
|
|
Dr. Dark will explain the state of cybersecurity education in public high schools. She will report on CyberSupply, a complement to CyberSeek, providing analytics on the high school cybersecurity pipeline after examining data in 11 states. Addressing the sizable workforce gap will require a dramatic increase in the number of people choosing to pursue a cybersecurity career. Securing the cybersecurity workforce will require short-term measures and longer-term actions to build student pipelines to become tomorrow’s workforce. Efforts to secure the cybersecurity workforce need to be data-informed; without data, the United States will not know what interventions to start, stop, or continue.
