Students will learn a systematic approach for visualization analysis and design to explore complex data in this course. The first part of the course focuses on teaching data visualization principles, including human perception, different visual encoding channels, and data and task abstraction techniques. The second part of the course will cover multiple aspects of data presentation for exploring patterns in data, including a wide range of statistical graphics and information visualization techniques.

This class trains students to detect and analyze weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems as a method of assessing the security of a system. Such techniques have various names, including penetration testing and ethical hacking. We focus on tools and techniques that an attacker would employ but from the perspective of an ethical system administrator. Broad topics include: tools and techniques for penetration testing and attacks, information gathering, social engineering, and defenses.
