ShadowNet Cyber Range

Practice real cybersecurity skills inside a controlled virtual environment and Physical system built for hands-on learning, attack simulation, and defensive security training.

A Complete Virtual and Physical Cybersecurity Lab

ShadowNet is CDTI’s hands-on cyber range. Students build and operate a segmented virtual network containing firewalls, Windows systems, Linux servers, attacker machines, and security-monitoring tools.

Students do more than watch demonstrations. They configure virtual and physical systems, analyze traffic, identify vulnerabilities, investigate alerts, and defend the environment from simulated attacks.

Build the Network

Students configure a realistic virtual and physical environment using:

  • pfSense firewall and router

  • VLAN10 user network

  • VLAN20 restricted server network

  • Kali Linux attack system

  • Windows and Ubuntu targets

  • Linux monitoring and SIEM server

Attack. Detect. Defend.

ShadowNet labs allow students to safely practice:

  • Network discovery and traffic analysis

  • Vulnerability assessments

  • Firewall-rule configuration

  • Ethical hacking techniques

  • Log and alert investigation

  • Incident response

  • Network segmentation

  • Security-control testing
