Hello everyone,
I forgot to release (or even decide on and write) the topic 4 marking criteria. The assessment spec (https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP6443/25T1/resources/109475) has been updated with the stars for topic 4. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks,
Hamish
Hello everyone!
It's week 6, which means it's flex week! There are, of course, no lectures or tutorials this week. However, we will be running some help sessions where you can get some feedback on your reports from some of the tutors:
We highly suggest going to one of these sessions once you have a rough draft or even just a few sections of your report for some feedback.
In addition to the help sessions, we'll shortly be releasing a topic '3.5' on CTFd. This consists of a few challenges that we thought might cover some additional vulnerabilities that we've talked about but haven't had challenges on yet, plus a couple that are just for a bit of fun/interest. These challenges may be reportable and will count towards the stars for topic 3. We will not be increasing the star requirements for topic 3 or the report despite the extra challenges. They are simply extra opportunities to get marks and write interesting report content.
Have a good week 6, and we will see you in week 7!

Hello everyone!
Hope everyone has had a good weekend and are ready for week 5. We'll be continuing on with server side vulnerabilities, including another extended lecture from Lachlan on Tuesday about deserialisation vulnerabilities.
A reminder that Tuesday has the midterm exam, at 6pm Sydney time. It is online and the exam can be accessed at https://midterm.quoccacorp.com . As of posting this will show a countdown. Make sure that you have mTLS setup and can see the countdown on the device you intend to complete the exam with. Once the exam begins (6pm Tuesday Sydney time), this page will be replaced with links to the exam questions.
An exam questions thread is now on the forum and will be the primary method of communication during the exam : https://edstem.org/au/courses/20765/discussion/2488259
The submission template is available here: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP6443/25T1/resources/110820

Please post on the forums if you have any questions. See you in the lectures this week!
