Given the overlap with data networks (which should not be an overlap if the exam is just two hours), we have extended the inspection time. I will be around until 12:45 (probably moving to 0.02 at 12). You may still come and take a look if you arrive by 12:15. After that, the alternative will be to inspect it no earlier than August 26 (exact date TBD).

Dear all,

a reminder for those students at UdS that we will have the exam on Wednesday at GHH. Please arrive by 9:50 at the latest.

The inspection will take place on Friday, August 2, 10-12 in CISPA's meeting room 0.07 (right opposite to the main entrance). We will only allow you to enter until 11:30, such that we can surely finish on time.

Dear all,

if you enjoyed the challenges thus far, you have been inadvertently exposed to playing CTFs (both Jeopardy and Attack/Defence!). If you want to see how much you have learned already, you are invited to join the CTF team saarsec for playing ENOWARS (https://8.enowars.com/) on July 20th. We will meet in Kaiserstraße 21 in St. Ingbert (CISPA's D1 location). The CTF starts at 2pm, but please make sure to be there around 1pm at the latest. Bring your laptop, as you will have much more fun if you get your hands dirty there. 

If you want to join or have questions, please reach out to me on Mattermost (so I know how many of you to expect).

Cheers

Hi folks,

apologies for not letting you know earlier (it admittedly slipped my mind): this week we will be talking about code execution and assorted server-side issues. Both sets of slides were already available, I just forgot to mention this last week. Since I will be travelling in the week of July 10, we will have to skip that lecture.

See you Wednesday :-) 

Hi all,

please take a few minutes to evaluate the lecture through https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=150329&p=ryve1d

If you have additional comments which we can still address this year, feel free to reach out to us through Mattermost or the anonymous feedback feature on CMS.

Scratch that, wrong course ;-) Will update with the right one later

Now with the correct link, see above

We received some feedback which suggested activating the Askbot for more structured questions. We have now enabled it, but will not allow anonymous postings as it is then often hard to impossible for us to debug issues. Please also do not expect immediate answers or interactive discussions there, as we will keep those on Mattermost.

Beyond that, please feel free to reach out to the team through a direct message if you have exercise-specific questions that you do not want to share with everyone in Town Square. 

Due to my attendance of EuroS&P in July, we will have to skip the slot on July 10. Since last year, the Q/A for §8 and §9 was rather short, I have decided to merge the two meetings and move up the schedule a bit for infrastructure. Please find the updated version in the CMS. We will also adjust the schedule for exercises because of this, but will inform you early enough about the changes (note: you will have strictly more time than before).

Hi folks,

thanks to a quick reminder on Mattermost (if you are not there, you should join soon ;)), I made the video for Lecture 2 available. The accompanying slides + Q/A slides are available in the Materials section. Please check into the questions we pose there as we want to discuss these in the next lecture slot.

Note that due to the public holiday next week, the next lecture will be on May 8 10:15 in the Bernd Therre lecture hall in CISPA.

Dear all,

we start our lectures this week on Wednesday at 10 am (c.t.) in CISPA's 0.05 lecture hall (when you enter the building, it's on your left behind the counter). Note that with the currently signed up students, it will be crowded, so please don't leave any spaces between each other.

Also, given that we have reached our capacity a while back, I closed the ability for other to register. I have received a number of requests to join, so should want to not attend the lecture after all, please use the option to unregister from the course. This may allow others to take the course. And while I have your attention here, let me remind you that this is not your average 6CP course and you will have to invest significant time and effort (but I promise, you will learn a lot).

Note that we will be recording the Q/A sessions we do weekly, but uploading of those may be delayed. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to attend the weekly meetings.
