Research, Design And Experiment A Multi-Platform Lab For Web Server Security Practice

Abstract

Setting up a network lab in the teaching Networking and Information Systems Security can be very difficult because of hardware limitations and the complexity of managing a system of different servers. Students who want to gain a lot of hands-on experience need to practice on many different operating system platforms, but in current practice rooms, students are often exposed to only a few popular operating systems. To solve the above problem, in this article I have developed a practice system of web attack and defense techniques based on multi-platform technology with the help of DVWA and VMWare vSphere. Through the testing process, the implementation has brought many benefits in terms of practical teaching, increasing the quality of learning and research of students when participating in learning and practicing website attack and defense techniques, in addition, lecturers have more flexible management than before.
