About this paper
Andreas Eipper, Daniela Pöhn
Researchers at Universität der Bundeswehr München developed and evaluated three open-source blue team scenarios designed for beginners, focusing on the detection and prevention of brute-force attacks using tools such as Wireshark, system logs, and Fail2Ban. The systematic, progressive training approach was positively received and demonstrated a clear learning effect among participants in a qualitative evaluation.
Key insights
- A progressive learning structure, moving from network analysis to system-level detection and then active prevention, effectively maximizes the learning effect for beginner blue team skills.
- The systematic design process based on cyber taxonomies is well-suited for creating introductory cybersecurity training modules.
- Ensuring participants possess foundational IT skills, especially in Linux operating system and command-line usage, is crucial for the efficient and effective delivery of practical blue team training.
