Summary
Architecture and Background
Sam Bowne: Teaching Hacking at College Last semester I taught a new course in "Ethical Hacking and Network Defense" at City College San Francisco. I had legal, ethical, and practical concerns about this class, so I took several precautions to prevent the students from one another, and others from them.
Vulnerability Analysis
The course was a success--it was full and popular, and there were no security problems (at least none that I found out about). We have built hacking into our Computer Networking and Information Technology program.
Exploitation and Demonstrations
The topic is important and exciting for the students, and reinforces their security knowlege. I encourage other college teachers to do the same.
Remediation and Defensive Strategies
