AB  -                Design of an Intrusion Detection System in a Cloud-based                                Academic EnvironmentAn age-old concern for every educational institution is how to provide the student with the bestenvironment for learning. For teaching network security related courses, the networkenvironment could be built using a collection of physical equipment such as servers, hubs,switches, bridges, routers, and intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) sensors. Thisapproach provides students with an actual network to carry out experiments; however, theequipment is expensive and it is time consuming to physically set up all of the network devices. Instead of using real physical equipment, virtualization technology is employed to build anetwork with multiple virtual machines. Within a single physical host machine, multiple virtualmachines are created and operated simultaneously. In each virtual machine, applications andservices are implemented and the virtual machine executes the code just as a normal physicalmachine would. This approach eases the load of network administration as mistakes can beeasily fixed while the network stays up and running. When a network change is required toconduct desired cyber-attack experiments, it can be easily reconfigured in a virtual environment.The focus of this research is to improve the academic environment for intrusion detectioncourses by utilizing powerful virtualized environments (VEs). Attention will be focused on theconcept of utilizing web based lab automated VEs to reduce time spent by students on setting upenvironments and how VEs can provide a more cogent learning environment. In this research a VE will be set up so that a student may utilize it from day one with littleeffort. The environment emulates a typical physical network that includes one studentenvironment and one instructor environment. In the instructor environment, the instructor couldattacks. Students are required to configure a firewall or IDPS to mitigate the attacks. As a result,students can gain direct knowledge of intrusion detection and incident response. This researchwill not only provide instructors with information to deliver capable educational environmentsfor teaching future IT security professionals but also provides students with a more immersiveeducational experience which in turn will better prepare them for the real world.
