CHEESE: Cyber Human Ecosystem of Engaged Security Education

The CHEESE project supplements and enhances traditional cybersecurity education with hands-on, practical experience in common cybersecurity flaws and solutions. CHEESE requires only a web browser, allowing users to develop cybersecurity skills without compromising their own computer or spending hours setting up a complex virtual machine (VM) or sandbox environment. In this tutorial we will conduct a hands-on walkthrough of a couple of cybersecurity demonstrations on CHEESE and present an overview of the platform and the community-driven contribution and development process.
