  1. In the face of the increasing needs of cybersecurity professionals from US public and private sectors, many universities have created various cybersecurity education programs. Penetration testing, as a critical component in cybersecurity training, often requires setting up virtual machines (VM) with various vulnerabilities. However, it is usually time-consuming and technically difficult to fine tune vulnerabilities in VM systems. In this paper, we present an automatic security patch removal tool that can fine tune various Windows VM systems to precise levels of vulnerabilities, and easily employed by students and educators alike. This tool can create virtual machines that simulate different security states in the Windows operating system timeline and gives a more realistic view of the every-changing state of cybersecurity to the students pursuing an education in the field.
