Easy Lab Setup
Students just need to download our pre-built virtual machine image to their personal computers or run it from a cloud. There is no need for a physical lab space or dedicated computers. All the software we use for the lab environment setup is open-source and free.
Over 30 Labs
We have developed over 30 labs that cover a wide range of topics in computer and information security, including software security, network security, web security, operating system security and mobile app security. More labs are currently being developed.
Free Workshops
To help instructors adopt SEED labs in their curricula, we organize two four-day training workshops each summer at Syracuse University (around June). We have funds to cover the travel costs of 70 participants for 2019. Application is now closed.
Textbook (New)
I have written a textbook based on the SEED labs and my teaching experience. The book takes a hands-on approach, i.e., for each security principle, specially designed activities are used to help explain the principle. The book can be ordered from Amazon.
