Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I access first week's link? and the following weeks?
A: We will use either YouTube, Twitch, or Google Meet. The link will be shared on the course website and the Discord discussion board before class. Please register both to get timely update. As unexpected incidents may occur (e.g., the link is broken and we are unable to restore it in time), we will also post the video after class.
The instructions will be available soon. Stay tuned!
Q: How can I enroll?
A: HW0 has been released on the course website. We will distribute the enrollment code based on the HW0 score as of 9:30am on October 1st, 2021. We will announce Homework 0x00 during the very first class, and distribute the enrollment code based on the HW0 score. You will have one week to solve the HW0 problems.
Q: Can I audit?
A: Yes, as long as you can access the course website.
Q: What are the prerequisites?
A: Having basic knowledges of security, programming, and systems is strongly recommended.
