Code Review

In this 5 day course, students will learn how to discover bugs and vulnerabilities in C-based programs. We will look at current open source systems code and OS kernels (Linux and *BSD) as case studies and working examples.

Specifically, students will:

1. Review components of the C programming language.
2. Learn about common C programming bugs.
3. Learn common APIs and interfaces in systems code and OS kernels prone to implementation bugs.
4. Look at previously discovered bugs as case studies.
5. Find bugs in sample code.
6. Be given the opportunity to find bugs in current systems code.
