Inside the SEEDLabs organization, we have several open-source projects. This guide helps you navigate through these projects, so you can find the ones that you are interested in contributing.
The SEED project started in 2002 by Wenliang Du, a professor at the Syracuse University. It was funded by a total of 1.3 million dollars from the US National Science Foundation (NSF). Now SEED labs are being used by over a thousand institutes around the world. SEED stands for (SEcurity EDucaton).
The project has been maintained by Professor Du himself in the past, with the help from his students. While this has worked quite well for almost 20 years, it has now reached a point, where individual efforts can no longer meet the ever increasing needs from the world. There are many interesting things that we can do if we work together as a community.
To bring together those who are interested in contributing to the SEED project
and to the Cybersecurity education, Du open-sources the entire SEED project,
which consists of several projects,
including all the SEED lab descriptions and source code he and his team has
been developing. This seed-labs Github organization is created as a home to host all the SEED projects.
Learning by doing is essential for education. Our vision is to develop hands-on labs that can help achieve learning by doing in the cybersecurity education around the world. These include well-designed lab exercises, as well as the platforms for these labs. These labs and platforms are open source.
