SEED Project

Objective: The objective of the SEED workshops is to provide training to the participants who are interested in improving their hands-on skills in cybersecurity. During the workshops, participants will work on the SEED labs, with the help from us.

When: We will spread the workshop across several weeks, holding one session (or multiple sessions) each week. Each session lasts 3 hours, and typically cover two SEED labs. Participants can freely pick which sessions to attend based on their interests.

Lab Environment: Please make sure you install the SEEDUbuntu 20.04 VM before the workshop starts. Get the VM from this link, which also contains the user manual.
