Goal is to re-invigorate INST 365, Ethical Hacking, with the following characteristics:

1. Physical, Hands-On based - probably Raspberry Pi, Personal Laptop with VM Ware VMVMs, and Kali Linux, Wireshark.

2. Based in Tinkerspace in College Park; building out a comparable capability in Shady Grove.

3. Aligned with existing courses and pedagogy

   1. of INST 346 (Technologies, Infrastructure, and Architecture, includes RaPi and networking gear) as prerequisite

   2. INST 347 (Cloud Computing for Information Science, includes VMWare, Kali, and Arduino Cloud) as compatible elective

   3. INST 388X (Internet of Things, includes Arduino Cloud) as compatible elective

   4. Cybersecurity and Privacy Cognate Sequence

      1. INST 364 Human-Centered Cybersecurity

      2. INST 366 Privacy, Security, and Ethics for Big Data

      3. INST 464 Decision-Making for Cybersecurity

      4. INST 466 Technology, Culture, and Society

      5. INST 467 Practical Hacking for Policy Making

4. Aligned with some external Certification Process like CEH (not necessarily earning the Certification in class)

5. Add a dimension to the Infosci Cybersecurity cognate that Dennis Frezzo, Donal Heidenblad, Charlie Harry, and many semesters of informal student feedback agree is missing.

6. Low or no cost to students

Possible Cyberrange Options

...

understand the technical aspects, especially around the stack and its vulnerabilities; hands-on ….

prereq: 346 …. ask Ron if this possible ….. 1 credit Linux …. (know CLI ….. 1 units during winter and summer)

Charles Harry. Ben from UMBC. Donal’s friend. adjuncting rules. curriculum consultants …. maybe offer 1 credit Linux course
