Earlier this summer, we spent 3 days taking the intensive Advanced Alperovitch Workshop course, The Science of Hacking: Weird Machines, Vulnerabilities, and Exploits, taught by Perri Adams.
By the end of the intensive course, our students walked away with a hacker’s understanding of what makes our computers insecure, how a vulnerability becomes a tool for hacking, and we even wrote our own exploits 😎 🤫! For many of our students interested in careers in public policy, this course gave us a new paradigm for software security and the tools to inform and design better policies address it.
