Abstract
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the demand for cybersecurity professionals capable of securing these devices escalates. However, many cybersecurity students lack practical experience in addressing the unique security challenges posed by IoT systems. To bridge this gap, we propose a Virtual Machine-based solution tailored for simulating IoT devices.
This senior project introduces a groundbreaking approach to educating students about IoT cybersecurity through the development of a comprehensive learning platform. The project team aims to create a dynamic website featuring an innovative in-browser virtual machine (VM) capable of simulating and executing various IoT cyber attacks. The primary goal is to empower students with practical, hands-on experience in identifying, understanding, and mitigating cybersecurity threats within IoT ecosystems.
The website provides a user-friendly interface for students to access the in-browser virtual environment, eliminating the need for complex setup processes and ensuring seamless integration into educational curricula. The virtual machine is equipped with simulated IoT devices, networks, and vulnerabilities, offering a safe yet realistic space for learners to actively engage in practical exercises.
By combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience in a controlled environment, this project aims to equip students with the skills and insights needed to address the growing challenges in IoT cybersecurity. The innovative in-browser virtual machine provides a flexible and accessible platform for educators to integrate practical cybersecurity training into their curricula, preparing the next generation of professionals to safeguard the interconnected world of IoT.
