this repository will contain all my learning materials for UCB CS161 course, you can check its official website for more details.
This course is divided into 5 sections:
- Security principles : how to design a secure system
- Memory safety : buffer overflow attack
- Cryptography : symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, MAC, digital signature .........

- networking : packet sniffing, RST TCP, DNS ... ...
- Projects : there are three projects in total
- Proj1 : Hack into the VM use buffer overflow attack. You will do some real attacks on the providing virtualbox virtual machine.
- Proj2 (warning) : This is a very code-heavy projects. You will implement a secure file sharing system in Go language. Here is my implementation and design doc.
- Proj3 : TBA
