EDURange | Welcome

Teaching cybersecurity or computer networking in the classroom? Training for a CTF? Our suite of exercises can help supplement your training activities: lectures, labs, and team activities. EDURange provides rapid feedback to students and faculty, aiding in the assessment of student learning. By providing interactive, competitive exercises, it enhances the quality of instructional material while increasing active learning for students.

The EDURange framework has changed. We are no longer hosting an EDURange server on AWS. Instead, we provide the code on github.com/edurange/edurange-flask so that you can host your own server on a cloud or a laptop.

EDURange Scenarios

Our central focus is on creating exercises, which we call scenarios, that support and nurture the development of analysis skills rather than memorized scripts, recipes, or standard command line and GUI settings for a particular tool. Though some scenarios revolve around using a specific tool, the main learning goal is the development of the analytical skills and understanding of the complex system which that tool acts upon.

Engaging

Whether through story-based design or the pursuit for the next checkpoint in a series of incremental challenges, our scenarios are fun and keep students absorbed. The intrigue of our scenarios help students stay actively interested in their own learning process.

Analytical

Not only do our scenarios pose challenges, but they do so in a way to encourage analytical thinking. Students learn how to develop their own building blocks to be further used as a scenario progresses. We also provide assignment questions and discussion questions to continue the investigative thinking post-scenario.

Supportive

While maintaining a balance between challenging and accessible, we provide students with suggestions and examples as they work through scenarios. Our student manuals also list helpful tools for each scenario.
