- JamesBarney 8y agoWas it covered in a theoretical sense where you took quizzes on it or in a more hands on way where you find xss exploits and exploiting them?
- nkozyra 8y agoMy focus wasn't security, but the classes I took were hands on projects
- petrbela 8y agoIntro to Information Security, for example, has four hands-on projects: 1. Exploit a buffer overflow in a C program 2. Use Cuckoo to understand a malware attack 3. Implement CBC encryption algorithm and a brute-force algorithm to crack it 4. Demonstrate an XSRF, XSS and SQL injection attack Remember this is an intro course and there are about 2-3 weeks per project so you won't be an expert but I'd say it makes you aware of some of the basic security attacks and how to prevent them.
- nostrebored 8y agoGeorgia Tech biases heavily towards hands on project design. It was also rated the worst school in terms of work life balance while I was there. Grad level courses will easily suck up a substantial portion of your life, even if the content seems 'simple.'
