  1. Thanks for sharing this. This instructor is so much more energetic and
    easier to follow than the boring old guy at MIT whose name I forget. The

  2. I know it's only CS50...but you can learn everything there is to know on
    this course in a single day by reading Hacking, and by working on
    Codeacademy.com.

    The state of US education is garbage and when compared to an advanced
    persistent threat hacker...this professor probably has only a child's
    understanding of computer systems.

    I'd venture a guess he doesn't even know the basic machine code error
    exploits within the introductory program "hello, world!"

    Computer scientist-wannabes would be better served by introductory hacking
    classes than by programming classes.
