The fall semester is right around the corner and I have spent the last week obsessively tweaking my hacker course. I think I finally crafted a syllabus I can live with for the rest of the semester.
I say “live with” because of what I excluded, which I simply did not want to (notably there is no material on DeCSS/DMCA, hacking the I-Phone, and I wanted to do more on encryption). But the good thing is I will be teaching this again in the future and will learn how to rotate in and out some of this material. Now I am off to enjoy a final free day before teaching responsibilities really begin.
Hi B!
The URL is a bit messed-up. That said, the Syllabus looks exceptionally sharp and very good introduction to all things hackish.
Besides, any Syllabus containing the sentence

Whoa, my attempt at using blockquotes failed miserably.
What I meant to say was:
“Besides, any Syllabus containing the sentence
[Closely read the first few paragraphs and then skim]
can’t do much wrong in my book.”

That looks terrific, despite the lack of DeCSS/DMCA material. Only so much you can squeeze in, and you’ve covered a *ton* there.
