Secure Computing

From the most sophisticated automated exploit tools to a toy whistle from a box of Captain Crunch cereal, over several decades hackers and crackers have abused system defects for fun and profit. This course focuses on how software developers can build 'hardened' systems that are more resistant to attacks preventing financial losses and damage to the organization's reputation. Not only will students learn how attackers think and operate but will apply that knowledge to secure and improve common web applications.
