[Infowarrior] - CyberCIEGE game for USG/DOD infosec training

[Richard Forno]

CyberCIEGE

A few years ago, the U.S. Navy helped produce an interactive
computer-based-training (CBT) tool covering an array of network security and
information assurance issues. Designed in the form of a three-dimensional
computer simulation (with a more than passing resemblance to The Sims), the
resulting ³game², ³CyberCIEGE², provides a deceptively simple-looking tool
for teaching students and staff the finer real-world nuances of computer
(and physical) security. While the introductory, tutorial scenarios require
little more than common sense to complete successfully, the difficulty
increases dramatically as you progress through the program.

A somewhat out-of-date ³demo² version of the program is available here, on
the Naval Postgraduate School¹s website; it doesn¹t allow you to save your
progress, nor play more than twenty minutes. (Some of the scenarios can take
several hours to complete successfully.) A copy of the full, unrestricted
program, nominally for use by military and government employees (and
educational institutions) only, has thoughtfully been made available for
download here (85MB .exe installer) or here (85MB zipped tarball of the
installer, should you not be able to download executables.) Ah, you are a
government employee or student, right? :)
