Upcoming Article on Attack Scripts
The upcoming May/June issue of IEEE S&P magazine has a column (written by me under the “Education” department run by Matt Bishop and Cynthia Irvine) that discusses how we can help students nurture a dual frame of mind when writing code. The article discusses the lack of opportunity, time, and encouragement for students within the traditional CS curriculum to explore the edges of a system or uncover and test the hidden assumptions of a designer or implementor. I’m trying to get my students to write attack scripts with every assignment they submit to help them get into this simultaenous black hat/white hat mindset.
