Labs for CCNA Security and CCP practice

I was able to get my hands on some free labs for the CCNA, but for Security, does anyone have any suggestions on where I could get my hands on some good labs for the course objectives?

In addition, how would I go about getting a simulator or something to play around with the CCP GUI? I've heard you can run something in Virtualbox, but I'm not familiar with the procedure.

I'd be interested in finding labs for this exam too, hoping to take it later in 2014.

Free CCNA Workbook has a few labs up for CCNA:Sec with more to come.

Yes, you can install CCP in a Virtualbox VM running Windows and use it to connect it to either a real router or a virtualized one in GNS3. Thread link - http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-security/92914-emulating-ccp.html.

I used GNS3, 3560s, and CCP to complete most of the labs in this book: CCNA Security Lab Manual Version 1.1 (2nd Edition): Cisco Networking Academy: 9781587133060: Amazon.com: Books It's the CCNA Security Lab Manual from the Cisco Networking Academy Classes. I only used one end PC so there were a couple I didn't do due to having two loopback addresses on one system. It was also nice because I was able to save the basic config and reuse it in each lab rather than having to rebuild it all from scratch each time. The last 5-6 labs are ASA related so I am planning on doing those on physical hardware. I set up the ASA in GNS3 once, but I heard it can be a little flaky.

Was also hoping for some advice on this too; Trying to source the lab manual for free or any labs which I can setup and practice with..

Just to confirm on this; The first link you posted about the CCNA:S workbook; The labs are setup to match the 640-554 exam right?
