Abstract
In this paper we will demonstrate how systems for malware testing can be designed, implemented and used by master degree students. In this way, we have established two strong platforms for malware testing, while at the same time provided the students with a strong theoretical and practical understanding of how to execute, analyse, and classify malware based on their network and host activities.
