Everyone, whether they write protocols or internal processes is responsible for using secure programming techniques to minimize the adverse effects of attacks, whether those attacks are intentional or accidental. If a process deep in the lines of a product crashes because it receives bad data or because a resource that should have been there was not, it is still a crash and reduces the availability. It includes items that are classed as defensive in nature (e.g. checking error return codes before using handles and other data structures that should have been created, or protecting against using a pointer after it has been released). It also includes items that may be more normally associated with cryptographic procedures (e,g. random number generation, encryption algorithms, etc.)

Grades - All students must ordinarily take all quizzes, labs, final exam and submit the class practical in order to be eligible for a Q/ISP, Q/IAP, Q/SSE, or Q/WP credential unless granted an exception in writing by the President. Know that Q/ISP classes draws quite the spectrum of students, including "those less comfortable," "those more comfortable," and those somewhere in between. However, what ultimately matters in this course is not so much where you end up relative to your classmates but where you end up relative to yourself in on Friday of class. The course is graded as a pass or fail solely on your attendance and participation. Those less comfortable and somewhere in between are not at a disadvantage vis-à-vis those more comfortable. Escalating labs help you prepare for real world scenarios. Each labs escalates upon itself, increasing in intensity, rising to the next level, while your mitigating the threat step by step
Books - No books are required for this course. However, you may want to supplement your preparation for or review of some lectures with self-assigned readings relevant to those lectures' content from either of the books below. The first is intended for those inexperienced in (or less comfortable with the idea of) hacking. The second is intended for those experienced in (or more comfortable with the idea of) hacking. Both are available at sites like Amazon.com. Both are avail at the SU Hacker Library. Realize that free, if not superior, resources can be found on the SU website.
