Welcome to CSE194: Cybersecurity History and Culture, which we will refer to as Hacker History from now on.

You'll be able to find most class related things on this site for the rest of the semester.

Welcome to the first week of the Cybersecurity History and Culture class. Hopefully, you could attend the class today and watch the epic movie Hackers with us; however if you are a late-add to the class or could not make it, here is some important information below.

You can find today's slides here: https://tinyurl.com/cse194-hh

There is no class next week (MLK Day)

There are currently two assignments: Assignment 0 and Assignment 1, all submission is done through Canvas. The first is due in a week, and the second is due in two. The second assignment requires you to watch the movie Hackers (1995).

Next class, I'll start taking attendance for the 15% specified in the syllabus, so make sure to show up :).

Have a great week and start to the semester. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] (or the standard [email protected]). Hack The Planet!

This is both a reminder and an update announcement. Your assignment on responding to Trusting Trust is due on Sunday. I also have some updates about the next class and a later field trip.

Next class (Monday, Feb 3): we will be watching a movie (2hr) after the lecture. Feel free to bring snacks to enjoy during the film.

CactusCon 2025 (Friday, Feb 14): I have just added a new assignment, CactusCon 2025 Registration, which is due next week Sunday. I will talk about this class field trip next week (including timing constraints with other classes), but I highly recommend you register for it this week (or weekend), as it is free right now. Please do it even if you think you have time conflicts.

Have a good weekend!
