Here is a list of concepts that you will need to be well versed in to be successful in CS 6035 (you may find additional details and examples of these concepts listed here:

– Computer Organization and Architecture – Programming – Mathematics – Soft Skills

If you are accepted into the program but lack a sufficient technical background, we strongly encourage you to take a computer science course to ensure success in the

  • program. Here is a list of additional resources to help you prepare for CS 6035 and other

courses in the Information Security and Energy System tracks: – Introduction to Computing – http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2016-08-09/gdb-example-ncurses.html (GDB) – http://phrack.org/issues/49/14.html (Buffer Overflow Concepts) – https://www.cprogramming.com/gdb.html (GDB) – https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ – https://www.hacksplaining.com (For SQL injection/JavaScript/XSS/CSRF vulnerabilities)
