Students liked the interesting subject matter and the programming assignments. They also said the professor was a good teacher. However, many said that the course was disorganized and that the assignments were not clear. Students suggested having additional smaller projects instead of a few large assignments, as well as better lectures and lecture notes. Students should know that this is a chal enging course and they wil need to take time to study outside of class.

Students loved the real-world application of the materials covered in class, and believed that the hands-on activities helped them learn about exploiting and hacking systems. Students thought that the workload was a bit heavy, however, and wished there had been PowerPoint slides they could refer to when studying. Suggestions for improvement included posting lecture notes to Blackboard, and providing a clear syl abus at the beginning of the year. Prospective students should know assembly, GDB, Linux, PHP, and HTML. The course is chal enging but enjoyable, and students should always participate in lectures.

Students thought the best aspect of this class was its effectiveness in teaching practical and useful concepts. They felt their least favorite aspect of the class was that some assignments where not as chal enging as they had hoped. Some students also believed that there was a heavy workload for the class. Students thought the course could be best improved with improved feedback on assignments. Students felt it was most important for people thinking about taking this class to know that having some knowledge of C programming and assembly language were valuable for this course.
