Abstract: ISLET (Isolated, Scalable, & Lightweight Environment for Training)
is a system that streamlines Linux based software training for IT events. It minimizes the participation barrier to that of an SSH client. It uses Linux containers to provide students with isolated environments from which they can perform work. ISLET is used at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to teach digital forensics tools and by the Bro Project to teach Bro, among other use cases. This talk will discuss ISLET, the problems it solves, a technical overview of Linux containers, and includes a live demonstration of standing up a brand new ISLET system in under 10 minutes.
