Virtual Training Environment

Ran across this in #snort-gui this evening:
The Virtual Training Environment (VTE) is a Web-based knowledge library for Information Assurance, computer forensics and incident response, and other IT-related topics. VTE is produced by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

This site has a lot of walkthrough-video demos on topics in the following areas:
  • Asset and Risk Management
  • IA Policy and Implementation
  • TCP/IP Security
  • Cryptography
  • Host System Hardening
  • Securing Network Infrastructure
  • Firewalls and Networking
  • Intrustion Detection
  • Synchronization and Logging
  • Forensics and Incident Response
The site is very easy to use and offers a ton of information for people new to the IT security field and for those who want a brush up on certain topics. Checking out the documents, demos, lectures, and hands-on labs will keep you busy for quite a while.
