Addressing VoIP/WebRTC Security Training Gaps with a Standardized Vulnerable Lab Environment

Introduction: Addressing the VoIP/WebRTC Security Training Void The cybersecurity training ecosystem is replete with tools for web application security, such as DVWA , OWASP Juice Shop , and WebGoat . These platforms have standardized the education of vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure session management by providing controlled environments for hands-on learning. However, the domain of Voice over IP (VoIP) and Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) lacks an equivalent framework. Despite their pervasive use in modern communication systems, no standardized, intentionally vulnerable lab environment has existed—until the introduction of DVRTC . DVRTC is not merely another tool; it is a targeted solution to the growing complexity of VoIP and WebRTC protocols, the scarcity of accessible learning resources, and the escalating sophistication of real-world attacks targeting these systems. By providing a hands-on environment, DVRTC enables practitioners to
