Teaching an Information Security curriculum requires special consideration of the problems that students and lab exercises may generate. Many security exercises such as penetration testing, injection attacks, session hijacking, and spoofing will cause numerous problems on production campus networks. This paper will present a method for isolating these problems into a virtual environment, allowing labs to progress in a secure and portable manner. A teaching classroom or lab can provide additional protection for real systems while still allowing a full range of attack and defense exercises by using virtual machines. Specific examples will be presented using VMWare products, but the techniques should be applicable to other virtual environments. The primary focus will be on network-oriented services, although host-based security evaluations will also be supported.
