This project creates an open-source cyber challenge software platform (OCCP) and accompanying educational and assessment materials that are designed to be widely disseminated for teaching high school and college information assurance, cyber security, and digital forensics courses. The project consists of activities to design the OCCP using free/low cost virtualization software packaged in a standard way for public release; to create instances of the OCCP for network defense courses, penetration testing courses, and secure programming courses; to create supplemental educational materials for use with the OCCP instances in these courses; to assess the effectiveness of the use of OCCP in these courses; and to hold workshops and create a web portal for wide dissemination of educational materials, and for community contributions to the OCCP.The result of this project represents a controlled teaching and assessment environment where students apply information assurance, cyber security, and digital forensics concepts in orchestrated pedagogically-sound realistic scenarios. The OCCP is easy and inexpensive to install and as such provides a starting point that instructors can deploy to save substantial effort, and yet still tailor to their specific needs. Furthermore, it provides a framework with a software architecture and "packaging" that is meant to be shared, modified, extended, and re-used to facilitate the development of an open source community that uses, supports, and extends the OCCP.

该项目创建了一个开源的网络挑战软件平台（OCCP）和配套的教育和评估材料，旨在广泛传播高中和大学的信息保证，网络安全和数字取证课程。该项目包括以下活动：使用免费/低成本虚拟化软件设计OCCP，这些软件以标准方式打包，供公开发布;为网络防御课程、渗透测试课程和安全编程课程创建OCCP实例;为这些课程中的OCCP实例创建补充教育材料;评估在这些课程中使用OCCP的有效性;举办研讨会，并创建一个门户网站，用于广泛传播教育材料，并为社区贡献OCCP。该项目的结果是一个受控的教学和评估环境，学生在精心策划的教学合理的现实场景中应用信息保障，网络安全和数字取证概念。OCCP易于安装且成本低廉，因此提供了一个起点，教师可以部署以节省大量工作，但仍然可以根据他们的特定需求进行定制。此外，它提供了一个具有软件架构和“打包”的框架，旨在共享，修改，扩展和重用，以促进使用，支持和扩展OCCP的开源社区的开发。
