Offensive Computer Security Open Courseware

Huntsville (Ala.)

We describe open courseware educational materials and a curriculum advising service for a hands on Offensive Computer Security course that addresses realistic and emerging challenges typical of the problems that cybersecurity professionals face in the fields of incident response, vulnerability analysis, secure development and system administration, and that can be integrated into a cybersecurity curriculum for CAE students, and others, to defend our nation and economy against sophisticated criminal and state sponsored cyber attacks. The focus is on underlying principals and independent thinking, with students developing their own cyber defense technical skills and tools.
