Hands-on training systems are used to master the cyber security skills; however, majority of the existing systems are designed for advanced users. In this study, we construct a hands-on training system for beginners to help them to learn about cyber security. This proposed system will be deployed on a cloud server so that students can undergo training anytime and anywhere without an instructor. Furthermore, the system can be expanded according to the number of students. Further, we present and evaluate the proposed.
