  • Consultation Time and A Glance at Assignment 2

    Posted by Yuekang Li Thursday 03 October 2024, 01:33:50 PM.

    Hi Class,

    We don't have tutorials/labs for this course but assignment 2 will involve more coding/development tasks.
    So, let's have an additional consultation session every Friday (except for week 6), from 1 pm to 3 pm, starting from tomorrow. You're welcome to ask me any questions! But please try to avoid directly asking me whether your assignment answers are correct or not (we can discuss the assignment specifications though).
    You can find me in my office @ k17 (CSE building) 501G.

    To give you a glance at assignment 2 before consensus date: the main task will be developing a fuzzing tool (based on existing ones) that can attend the fuzzing competition organized by Google every year. The side tasks involve other stuff related to bug hunting (like analysing code complexity, reporting bugs etc.).

    It was designed to be a team-based project but you are also allowed to do it solo. We will make sure it's doable for one person.

    Just one more thing, the current group lead of Google's fuzzing team is an UNSW alumni who is based in Sydney. We may have a chance to invite him for a guest lecture in week 10. Stay tuned!

    Hi Class,

    I hope you have already started working on assignment 1. Please don't do it in the last minute!

    According to the feedback on Ed, some of the question descriptions are updated for clarity.
    You can find out what's been updated here: https://draftable.com/compare/KZvXCqOdqyag

    And the specification on webcms is the newest one.

    Just a reminder: if you are on an ELP and you need extra time for this assignment, please send the course staffs an email 24 hours before the due date.

  • Assignment 1 Released

    Hi Class,

    The specifications for assignment 1 have been released:
    https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP3142/24T3/resources/105983

    Please note that the due date is 6th Oct 2024 at 10 pm Sydney time (AEDT) (same as the census date).

    This is an INDIVIDUAL assignment. You can try to ask PiePie for help. But don't rely on it. It may not give you correct answers.

    For ELP students, please send Sarah or me emails to request extensions.

    Good luck and happy bug hunting!

    Good day class!

    I'm Yueakng Li, the lecturer in charge of COMP3142. Welcome to term 3 and this is the first time offering this course!

    We will use webcms as the main website for this course. Moodle is only used to access course recordings. We will use edforum as the course forum. (I'll invite you to the forum later on.)

    Wish you a fruitful term and see you tomorrow @ old main building G32 14:00.

    Cheers,
    Yuekang
