assign5 Released! Wed May 13 by Nick Assignment 5 has been posted in the assignments dropdown. It is meant to reinforce the topics of assembly translation, reverse engineering, and trust and privacy. The backstory: you have been hired as a security expert for Stanford Bank (a fictional on-campus bank). They need you to investigate reports of infiltration and security issues and replicate the issues so that they can fix them. There are three parts to this assignment, and each one will have you investigate supposed vulnerabilities and assess the risks the bank faces. These problems are like C/assembly "puzzles" to solve, and we hope you enjoy solving them and exploring this material as much as we enjoyed creating them! The assignment is due Saturday 5/23 at 11:59PM PT. For this assignment, the late period is 1 day (with a 95% cap) instead of 2 days as on other assignments so far. In other words, there is no option for submitting 2 days late with an 87.5% cap on assign5. You can find more details on the assignment page. We strongly recommend getting started early on this assignment! We'll also provide more tips and information about parts 2 and 3 in lecture 21 (Fri. 5/15). Check out Ed for more assignment tips and a recommended milestone deadline for each part.

As you start working, we want to include a reminder about the course style guide; it contains an in-depth reference about how to ensure your programs have great style! We have also added a new codecheck tool to this assignment - check out the spec for more information. Additionally, through TA helper hours and the discussion forum, our focus will be on supporting you so that you can track down your own bugs. Please ask us how to best use tools (like the brand-new GDB!), what strategies to consider, and advice about how to improve your debugging process or track down your bug. If you have debugging questions during helper hours, please make sure to gather information and explore the issue on your own first, and fill out the queue questions with this information. Starting with a future assignment, we will require this information when signing up for helper hours for debugging help, so please make sure to provide as much information as possible.

Lab Assignments PostedFri. April 3 by Nick We have posted lab assignments - you can view your assignment from the "labs" dropdown in the top toolbar.

Unfortunately, if a lab is full, we are not able to accommodate additional students at this time, but check back later, as enrollments may shift over time.

Labs start Wed., and during the first week your lab leader will introduce themselves and explain everything about lab and what it's all about. You can find more information about labs and lab policies on the course information page. We'll see you in lab next week!
