Train-the-Trainer Programs
Cybersecurity instructors teaching in universities and colleges can master the industry tools required to provide students with cutting-edge skills in immersive learning environments.
DEVELOP A HIGH DEGREE OF SKILL AND PROFICIENCY
USE CYBERSECURITY TOOLS APPLIED IN THE FIELD
IMPROVE THE IMMERSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Our train-the-trainer programs are taught using the Project Ares® platform by Circadence and designed to increase the capability and confidence that’s needed to lead aspiring students from the front.
Supporting Cybersecurity Training in the Classroom
Universities and colleges are diligently working to create new Cybersecurity degrees to address a widening skills gap in the current workforce. As a result, professional educators with years of experience in Computer Science and Information Technology are now responsible for teaching cybersecurity courses, a discipline with which they may have little to no experience. Our train-the-trainer programs provide instructors with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach their students to master specialized industry tools in an immersive learning environment. The training allows instructors to keep pace with this dynamic field and enhance the immersive learning component of their cybersecurity curricula.

Autopsy
Autopsy® is a digital forensics platform and graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit® and other digital forensics tools. It is used by law enforcement, military, and corporate forensic examiners to investigate incidents on a variety of computer systems. It is also used to recover files from peripheral devices such as USB’s, external hard drives, and digital cameras. The core Autopsy Browser can be extended by adding modules which help scan files of interest, browse the results of targeted scans or summarize the results of digital investigations.
Ophcrack
Ophcrack is a free open-source (GPL licensed) program that cracks Windows log-in passwords by using NTLM hashes through rainbow tables. A rainbow table is a precomputed table for caching the output of cryptographic hash functions, usually for cracking password hashes. The program includes the ability to import the hashes from a variety of formats, including dumping directly from the SAM files of Windows. On most computers, Ophcrack can crack most passwords within a few minutes.
Wireshark
Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. This specialized software is a data capturing program that “understands” the structure (encapsulation) of different networking protocols. It can parse and display the fields, along with their meanings as specified by different networking protocols. Wireshark is commonly used to support Incident Response and Network Forensics cybersecurity missions.
Kali Linux
Kali Linux (formerly known as BackTrack Linux) is an open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing. This Linux distribution contains several hundred tools targeted towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering. Kali Linux is a multi-platform solution, accessible and freely available to information security professionals and educators. Kali Linux is available on Windows 10, on top of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Snort
Snort is the foremost open-source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in the world. Its open-source network-based intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) can perform real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Snort performs protocol analysis, content searching, and matching. The program can also be used to detect probes or attacks, including, but not limited to, operating system fingerprinting attempts, semantic URL attacks, buffer overflows, server message block probes, and stealth port scans.
Maltego
Maltego is software used for open-source intelligence and forensics and focuses on providing a library of transforms for discovery of data from open sources, and visualizing that information in a graph format, suitable for link analysis and data mining. The basic focus of the application is analyzing real-world relationships (social networks, OSINT API’s, self-hosted private data and Computer Networks Nodes) between people, groups, web pages, domains, networks, internet infrastructure, and social media affiliations.
Windows Registry Editor (Regedit)
Windows Registry Editor (Regedit) is a graphical tool in the Windows operating system (OS) that allows authorized users to view the Windows registry and make changes. In the disciplines of Network and Digital Forensics, this utility allows investigators to view hidden system and user files to gather critical evidence which would not be available through the File Explorer. Information which can be obtained with this tool includes user and system data, changes to files and logs, timestamps, dates, passwords, and locating deleted files.
