Hi all,
Are you interested in Security? Are you currently enrolled in a CSE class that uses a textbook? We’re looking to get a group of students together to kickstart a crowdsourced security audit of the UW CSE undergraduate curriculum. We would like to get a few students involved in adding entries to our vulnerabilities wiki when they see unsafe code in their textbooks! There’s minimal extra commitment on your end, because you are (theoretically) already reading your text anyways. Security is one of the fastest growing fields in computing, and historically one of the most underserved fields in undergraduate education. So if you want to polish those hacking and cracking skills, this might be for you.
We’re going to have a meeting at noon this coming Wednesday (April 30) in CSE 303 to explain the project in more detail, and go over the vulnerability coding scheme. (We will provide food.)
Thanks!
Tariq, Neil, Yoshi, et al.
