Penetration testing practical teaching is one of the few offensive courses offered to students majoring in information se-curity and is an essential part of their education.With the continuous improvement of laws and regulations such as the"The Cyber-security Law of the People's Republic of China",the practical teaching mode of penetration testing needs constant innovation.To ad-dress the challenges of resources and time in practical teaching,we have designed and implemented a virtual range system based on OpenStack.We have proposed specific reform methods from the perspectives of teaching process,teaching methods,and assessment methods.These methods encompass open online and offline blended teaching,guided basic experimental processes,integration of com-petition and learning,and various other reform methods.Through these specific reforms,we have explored new mechanisms in pene-tration testing practical teaching.
