My research work at Iowa State University consisted of creating supplementary applications for the research group and to organize and promote the Cyber Defense Competitions (CDCs). The core section of the research was a set of software/hardware that is able to replicate the internet. My applications were to simplify user interactions, mass clone/image systems, and bridge communications between students, volunteers, and researchers. These applications were mainly used during the CDC.
The Cyber Defense Competitions (CDCs) are our outreach program to introduce students to cyber security. During these competitions students are given virtual machines to setup and secure or pre-built machines that need securing. The students are given the opportunity to attend workshops through the competitions to help understand, ask questions, and learn. At the end of the competitions we bring in volunteers from the security field
(Union Pacific, Boeing, Accenture, etc) to ‘hack’ the students systems. When all is done, we provide a breaksown for each team on where they had done well and what they had done wrong. In order to keep the research on task and on time we were able to implement a ticketing system (JIRA). This allowed us to see everyone’s progress, time frame to completion, and what needs to be done, all in order. 3.05
