This article starts with the concept that Schools should teach students learn how to stop malicious hackers by learning their ways. Imagine a world where security guards learn to be robbers first. The first step for students, before moving into a government or corporate job where they work to prevent hacks, is to learn the darker side of the trade: exploiting loopholes, thieving from servers, cracking passwords–and not just learning and performing them, in a classroom set up especially for the experience. Students learn the tricks they need to break past a system’s defenses, but not when to use which tricks. Imagine getting the keys, not the locks is the analogy the author used. I think this article even though is a few years old relates to our program and what we are learning. The classes listed in this article have the same names as in our program.
