Several educators have noted the benefits of providing students a hands-on experience in security education. Different approaches, such as traditional labs, competitions, virtual labs, and simulated web labs have been proposed. At our institution, we have used a variety of different approaches over the years and have concluded that the best approach depends on the complexity of the concepts being taught and the student background in the area. As a result, we now use a combination of lab approaches based on the subject. This paper will describe the different ways of providing hands-on labs, our decision process for the appropriate format, and our experiences with using this approach.
