Advanced Internet Security (i.e., InetSec 2) serves as a continuation for the class Internet Security. The idea is to present problems in more detail and allow students to apply their knowledge in practical exercises. Because the class will feature a number of programming exercises, students are required to have considerable programming experience. The lecture deals with common programming mistakes and ways to detect and avoid them. Examples are used to highlight general error classes, such as stack and heap overflows. As part of the class, students can participate in an inter-university "capture-the-flag" hacking contest in which they can prove their knowledge of security and system management by competing with their peers.
