Lawfare Hacking and Cybersecurity Course (Sign Up)

Added 2022-08-29 22:08:09 +0000 UTC

On Tuesday evenings starting in September, you can take a live hacking class on Lawfare. Join us!

We are delighted to announce a first on Lawfare: a live online class on hacking and cybersecurity.

The live course will be exclusive to our material supporters, and edited videos will later be available to the public.

Whether one joins live or watches the videos later, students will learn to use virtual machines to "hack" other virtual machines using standard attacks such as packet sniffing, buffer overflow, IP spoofing, certification forgery, Man-in-the-middle, SQL injection and Cross site scripting.

The course, which Scott will teach with Sean O’Brien, will train students to understand cybersecurity and networking concepts, not only to help them protect themselves, but also so that they may better engage issues at the policy and regulatory level.

No prior computer programming experience is necessary.

We will be holding each class live Tuesday evenings 7-8pm ET throughout the Fall semester. The edited videos from each class session will be post on Lawfare. Students in the live class may submit their hacks for an end of the semester competition, and we will devote a few classes to examining the best hacks.

The live classes will take place on a platform called Crowdcast. Live participants will be able to engage the instruction directly and in real time, ask questions, and get their work evaluated in the context of the competition. The ultimate product will be free instructional videos available to anyone.
