Instructor

G Sivakumar

Semester

Spring’21

Course Difficulty

The course difficulty was moderate. Professor rarely took any classes and mostly posted online links for the topics, but the content was pretty interesting in itself, hence many peeps enjoyed reading it on their own. The course had a big chunk for the project and hence it was easy to score good marks and grade if one does well into that.

Time Commitment Required

2-4 hrs self study every week

Grading Policy and Statistics

Great. The course’s grading was very chill in our sem.

Attendance Policy

There were rarely any live lectures (online mode) and hence no attendance.

Pre-requisites

Having knowledge about Computer Networks (CS-224) can be a great plus point.

Topics Covered in the Course

Vulnerabilities, risks, attacks, defences, forensics, Cryptography, Network/host intelligence gathering, Web security – SQL injection, Access Control, firewalls and host/network intrusion detection

Teaching Style

Professor used to post links for the topics to be covered and there used to be very less live interactions.
