CS students enrolled in CS 194, an experimental “cyberwar” course led by Prof. Doug Tygar, have joined forces with the white hat hackers at HackerOne, a vulnerability coordination and bug bounty platform. This is the first time that HackerOne--which connects hackers with tech companies, private businesses and federal agencies to hunt for vulnerabilities--has partnered with a university. Students are gaining real-world cyberwar experience. “Unless students can learn to ‘think like a hacker,’ they will not be able to effectively defend systems” says Tygar.
