- The labs covered application security, but the parts about language-based security were only in the lectures.» (To some extent)

Teaching and course administration

7. What topics can benefit from covering in more depth?

- I think that more hands-on examples as to how some vulnerabilities can be exploited or what the protection looks like in code could be very benificial.»
- If this is supposed to be a course about language-based security as the name implies, then I feel that information flow must be one of the labs, or possibly a mandatory project. Otherwise a lot of people (myself included) will not bother learning a lot about it.»
- Stack overruns»
- overflows»
- SQL injections, XSS, buffer overruns, random malware, application security.»
- - Formal definition of Information Flow Security - Security type systems»

8. What topics would you like to see covered in addition to the material in the course?

- -»
- heap based attacks»

9. What topics would you like to remove?

- None.»
- -»
- information flow»
- Information flow!»
- Buffer overflows»

10. Any obvious overlaps with the other courses in the security specialization package?

- Only some terminology, but basically everything in this course was fresh.»
- XSS and buffer overflows are covered in Computer Security, although the labs in this course were more challenging and thus probably better.»
- -»
- repeating basic stuff such as in Ben lecture : what are viruses trojans etc»
- The ground knowledge of SQL injections and buffer overruns.»

11. What guest lectures did you particularly enjoy?

- Mario was just crazy. I"m really sad I couldn"t see him both days. »
- I enjoyed Mario Heiderich very much (had 4 different lectures with him). Ben was okey but his work felt a lot like "we have this problem and we work around it instead of going to the source of the problem". Mattias Jidhage had a nice, fun lecture.»
- OAuth was good because I had been working on it myself and felt confused about certain things, and the lecturer was very good at clearing up the confusion and explaining why the confusion was there to begin with.»
- Mario Henrich seemed somewhat of a genius but hes talk was a bit unfimiliar to me and I did not understand much of the lecture. Measures: Introduce the topic before hand somehow, although if there was reading material that were supposed to be reed before the leacure I did not read it.»
- All 3»
- Mario Heiderich»
- The one about application security»

Genomsnitt: 4.27 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex)

- It should been excellent if eg the information flow part was skipped and if there were more lectures about application security and such things. » (Good)
- A bit more focus on language-based techniques for enforcing security would be nice, some parts were more related to general application security and not specific to this course.» (Good)
- Really great course. The final project was an awesome opportunity to research interesting stuff. You failed, failed, failed a little less, failed, failed and then succeeded. » (Excellent)
- Having the opportunity to choose the project topic on your own was a really good thing! I think it motivates many students to do good as well!» (Excellent)

20. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Project, Arnar, Andrei, Mario. Never spoke to Jonas so I have no opinion of him. »
- I"m not a fan of students selecting their own projects in a course like this. If there is a project at all, I would prefer a well-defined list of projects.»
- Labs»
- XSS stuff»
- That the students are allowed to choose their own projects»
- Project, rootshell lab»
- The labs and the freedomness in choosing topic to the project, and Andrei!»
- The great freedom students have for choosing a project.»
- The teacher. The project and the ability to choose topic.»

21. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- I would have liked more time for the presentation. The intense time pressure made me skip significant steps in our work, important context information and some really funny jokes I came up with. »
- Information flow should be one of the labs, so that the language-based aspect is emphasized. I wouldn"t mind adding even more language-based security instead of things like buffer overflows and SQL injections, because those things are covered to some extent already in Computer Security.»
- -»
- nothing»
- Minimize or skip the flow information part.. ,) Also better descriptions at all the labs.»
- The lab instructions for the first lab. It was pretty hard to know that you had to do the code "stupid" to make it work. The reading for the buffer overflow seemed a bit outdated.»

22. Additional comments

- Awesome course. Would take again if I could. Or LBS2 if created.»
