Haaukins: A Highly Accessible and Automated Virtualization Platform for Security Education

Abstract

Education of IT security can include a tedious and frustrating experience for novice students and organizers. We have sought out to create an education platform that improves upon this experience, through automation, and individualized learning labs. These learning labs hosts are isolated clusters of virtual computer instances, representing real and insecure computer networks. The platform, named Haaukins, improves upon typical accessibility issues of students and cumbersome configuration management for organizers. In order make the platform accessible for other organizations, it has been open sourced.
