(2010-07-20) Little Brother Summer Hacking School

A Summer Hacking School (Hacker Summer School) was designed around the techniques used in Cory Doctorow's Little Brother. *Before you can design secure systems, you need to understand how attacks happen; and before you can understand how attacks happen, you have to know how to attack. In summer hacking school, you'll learn about all aspects of computer security, from the obvious: math and programming; to the subtle: sociology and law.

These aren't lectures, they're interactive discussions where we talk about the things that interest you. I only come prepared with a brief outline. Some classes have parts where you can use your laptop to try things out; if you don't have a laptop, don't worry, you can pair up with someone else.*
