Software Security Labs

These are the labs on software security. Software security focuses on the security of applications at all levels of the stack. Here we focus on security of user-level programs to distinguish from the system security labs we’ll study later. We’ll be looking at how bugs and properties of programs’ execution environments and usage of certain system features create vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
