This project will be focusing of researching different ways of gamification in cybersecurity education. The main objective of the project is to develop a web-application that will facilitate cybersecurity education particularly in the area of network security by providing a game or a set of games that help to learn about concepts such as network protocols, network traffic, network configuration and firewall in an interactive way more appealing for younger audience. You can explore the use and the role of CTF games in cybersecurity education.

More than one student can undertake the project as there are various aspects of the problem that students can explore.
