The Contactor shall deliver to the ITOC a complete assessment plan for the VIAN curriculum to include review of lab modules, development of instructional assessment methodology and execution plan, assessment report, and a final report.

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing the following reports to assist USMA in monitoring and tracking the progress/status of this statement of work: Monthly Status Report, Performance and Cost Report, VIAN Curriculum review, VIAN assessment pl an, and VIAN final report. The host operating system is Windows XP Professional. The virtual network is designed to present the user with two internal networks, a red network, containing machines that are used to launch exploits, and a blue network, consisting of target machine s. These two networks are separated by a firewall (using SNORT) running on one of the Linux guest machines. A second firewall, also running on a Linux guest machine, acts as a gateway to the host machine. Each classroom workstation is configured to supp ort two students. On the blue network, we have two separate installations of WIN 2000 server and Red Hat Linux 8.0 so each dedicated user of a computer has their own set of servers to administer. The WIN NT, WIN 98, and Red Hat 6.0 machines are target ma chines with no administrative requirements. There are also no administrative requirements for the red network, so it is shared by each user on a given workstation. This configuration allows each student a virtual network on their machine and provides so me flexibility and creativity for the instructors and the students.
