Best course offered by the CS department. Though the workload is high, the course is so interesting that it doesn't seem like a burden. The assignments are top class and really help you learn a lot in security. Participation in iCTF is the best part of the course!

Very HARD class. If you don't know how to code, drop it. However, the teacher is fantastic and the topic is awesome. I would have not imagined that security was this much fun. Best class I ever took at UCSB by far but an INSANE amount of work (insane, but fun). Not to mention that the prof is cute (and funny).

One of the most engaging professors I have had here in the department. He gives challenging assignments but the time is reasonable if you start when your supposed to. He is very interested and enthusiastic about the subject matter. If you survive his class your computer hacking skills will increase.

This guy expects you to finish quarter-long projects in a matter of days. There was so much work that was unrelated to networking that most people came away not learning anything. Extended deadlines after the deadlines, and laughed about how bad everyone's doing. To top it off - horrible accent!! Avoid!!
