Abstract

HackIts are short computer security challenges which are often Web-based. Their purpose is to raise awareness for common security issues by showing different intrusion possibilities in today’s computer security. We present a framework that allows security education in a safe, modular, and motivating way, with the possibility of flexible and low-cost integration into existing curricula. By solving challenges within this learning environment, the leaner gets confronted with IT security problems and learns how to prevent them.
