CS 475
Security of cyber physical systems
Focuses on offensive and defensive cybersecurity. In terms of offense, we used kali linux and the provided penetration testing tools (metasploit, wireshark, nmap, etc) to perform attacks on a variety of vulnerable systems. For defensive security we focused on system hardening via the use of tools like CIS-CAT pro as well as theoretical matters such as information access controls and secure coding standards.
CS 352
Computer Organization
A class designed to teach the basics of low level computing. Begins with simple binary logic and builds first to more complex curcuits, then even more complex circuits using prefabricated logic units, through to ARC assembly and finishing with creating, loading and retrieving information from a kernel module written in a mixture of C and x86-64 assembly.
