Great lectures, but you can still do well on the exams if you diligently study the slides. The labs/projects are really fun. You also won't realize how important this class is until you take it, so trust me, take it. I'd wished I'd taken it sooner when I got asked questions about how I made my projects secure in job interviews.

He is a great professor who is passionate about his research. He teaches well and explains the concerts really thoroughly. I would take him again!

CS177 was literally the best course I have taken at UCSB, though tests would be difficult. extra credits would be given if you solve some advanced difficult lab homework.

I don't know why networks is not a prerequisite for this class. I was pretty lost for the first third of the class because of that. That being said, Prof Kruegel is knowledgeable and makes the information easy to understand and I did enjoy the rest of the class.. Projects were fun and satisfying. Exams were terrible though, impossible to study for.
