Software is everywhere and many developers aren't aware of how to properly write secure code. We will cover practical skills in reverse engineering and binary exploitation and delve into the techniques used by adversaries for some of the largest security incidents of the century. With a strong understanding of attack patterns, students will be able to implement more secure coding practices into their own code and defend against these attacks.

Many software developers aren't aware of how to properly write secure code. This course covers practical skills in reverse engineering and binary exploitation, and examines the techniques used by hackers in recent major security incidents. The course objective is to provide students with a strong understanding of attack patterns, and to ensure students implement more secure coding practices in their own code. This course begins with an introduction to Intel-based assembly, reverse engineering, vulnerability analysis, and various forms of Linux-focused binary exploitation.

Data science uses various concepts, practices, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data. It encompasses techniques from machine learning, statistics, databases, visualization, and several other fields. When properly integrated, these techniques can help human analysts make sense of vast stores of digital information.

What does accelerating climate change mean for the discipline of history? How should historians, as scholars who study the past, respond to anthropogenic climate change and the broader ecological emergency that define the contemporary world? In this course, we study how these concerns are increasingly reflected in historians? research, writing, and debate. The climate emergency provides a point of departure for the course. However, we also examine historians?

The aim of this course is to introduce students to some of the many intangible issues surrounding museum and historic site interpretation. We will also be addressing some of these challenges through on-the-ground and digital collaborations with museums in Massachusetts and beyond. Seminar discussion will explore readings, including both theoretical and practical works. Writing assignments will be both practical (writing exhibit labels, digital history websites) and theoretical (analyzing meaning-making in museum exhibits and at historic sites).

We are living in a time of multiple global crises: climate change, massive inequality, racial tension, and now pandemic. These are not one-time events in a specific location, after which normalcy can be restored. Rather these crises are in continuous development over extended periods of time, with no end in sight.

This course will introduce complex mechanisms that constitute the "art world" so as to demystify it. It offers a holistic view of the life after MFA program by focusing on important practices, factors, and entities that are relevant in order to help emerging artists to navigate the multiple art worlds and sustain careers in the arts. The course will also engage with various professional capacities that artists may assume, such as educator, curator, writer, or organizer.

The concepts and relations (force, energy and momentum) describing physical interactions and the changes in motion they produce, along with applications to the physical and life sciences. Lab experiments, lectures and problem-solving activities are interwoven into each class. In-class discussion sections offer additional help with mathematics, data analysis and problem solving. This course satisfies medical school and engineering requirements for an introductory physics I course with a lab. Prerequisite: MTH 111 or equivalent. Restrictions: Not open to students who have taken PHY 119.
