Welcome back from B-Sides + week 3 activities can be done anytime up until the week 4 activities are due in week 5.
Posted by Richard Buckland Monday 30 September 2024, 12:23:31 PM.
I hope those who went to B-sides had a wonderful time! Can't wait to hear all about it when we all get together in the lectures tonight.
Because of B-sides the week 3 activities are much relaxed and also you can have more time to work on them - up until the week 4 activities are due (in week 5.)
However do make sure do you do in advance any prep needed for the case study sessions and law seminar this week. Case study prep for this week has been much reduced too - should not take much time at all.
Warm regards - Richard

No Tutorials and Logbooks Extended
Posted by Kristian Mansfield Tuesday 24 September 2024, 04:37:13 PM, last modified Tuesday 24 September 2024, 04:41:13 PM.
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the lecture happening right now.
There will be no tutorials are running in week 3 due to BSides Canberra (a security conference). We encourage everyone to come along if they can!
In its place, there will be help sessions running from 9-6 PM on Wednesday, 9-6 PM on Thursday, and 9-4 PM on Friday.
We will also be in Ainsworth Room 113 from 10AM to 2PM.
If you have any questions related to the course, feel free to pop by and ask the tutors running the session. These sessions are mainly for Something Awesome Project feedback but feel free to ask any questions about the course content or security in practice.
Also, feedback for Week 1 will be sent by your tutor sometime on Monday or Tuesday. To give extra time to implement any feedback and give you extra time to finish off the Week 2 activities, the Week 2 logbook will be due on Thursday 10AM.

Hi Everyone,
The week 2 case study reading has now been released - you can find it on the Week 1 Activities (linked in the left navbar) or directly here .
It's released later than we intended so it is not due along with the rest of the week 1 logbook activities - just make sure you do the prep before your case study in your tutorial this week.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the lecture tonight.
Warm regards,
Richard

The extended lecture slides are now linked under the lecture link so you can find the recording and the slides themselves in the "Lecture Links" tab on the sidebar.
