This is the public-facing main page of the Murdoch University Cyber Security & Networking Wiki. Here you can find information about The Lab Environment and our Teaching Philosophy. We teach applied Cyber Security & Networking content. Here we have made the provided the activities that we deliver to the community as well as some lab content from a number of units in this area.

The Wiki environment that you see here is also the method that we use to write teaching materials and the majority of the users of this site are students studying our units.
