If I’m ever a university teacher, I know how my infosec course is going to be graded.

*pentesting, no?

If it’s infosec in general, then wouldn’t you want them to have a server running a difference set of CMSs, forums, etc., on it each month, with their grade for the month stored and preset to “A” on the server?

…and the above setup being ultimately graded on a curve so the way to get an A is to be the only one whose services are consistently running, unpwned, showing the A, while everyone else is hacked to hell. Uptime and integrity of information are fed into an algorithm, and students sorted based on that. Protect your own, pwn everyone else. The only effort it’d require from myself is setting up the algorithm.

Actually, the way I’d do it is by having the students run various web services (the exact software doesn’t matter as long as it meets the specs). Then each second my system tries to legitimately use the services (such as by posting a forum post, trying to read an earlier post which should have the correct content, etc.), and if successful, the student will receive an unique code which they must store safely. The number of valid non-leaked codes at the end of the course is the score. DOSing others, wiping their databases, leaking the codes, etc. are all fair game, as are any measures to defend against them while still being able to fulfill the requirements.

The kids gonna git gud

(in fact, this sounds like a fun game)
