SecGen
A framework that generates randomly vulnerable virtual machines for security education, labs, and CTF events.
What is SecGen?
SecGen (Security Scenario Generator) is an open-source framework that creates randomly vulnerable virtual machines for cybersecurity training and capture-the-flag (CTF) events. It addresses the limitation of static hacking challenges by generating unique, unpredictable VMs based on customizable XML scenarios, ensuring learners face fresh problems each time. The tool automates the provisioning of VMs with realistic flaws, services, and configurations using Vagrant and Puppet.
Cybersecurity educators, students, and CTF organizers who need dynamic, reusable lab environments for teaching penetration testing techniques and hosting security competitions.
Developers choose SecGen for its ability to generate diverse, randomized vulnerable systems on-demand, eliminating the time-consuming process of manually creating hacking challenges. Its modular design and integration with tools like Vagrant and CTFd make it a flexible, scalable solution for security education.
