Laboratory Lessons
There are 3 laboratory lessons. These aim to let you try out some programs related to computer security and to let you examine how security is implemented in two different operating systems.
The laboratories will take place study weeks 4, 5 and 7 (not calendar weeks).
Notes:
- IMPORTANT! All preparatory assignments must be completed. Write answers to all questions that require such on paper, you will have to show your answers (individually, not as a group) to be allowed to do the laboratory. If you show up with no written answers, you are welcome some other time. If you get stuck on a specific problem, you will have to convince us that you tried.
- It is also possible that there will be a quiz to check that you are prepared.
- No lab reports. When you are done with the lab you are also approved. Just make sure that you have written down your token before you leave.
- You may contact Linus if you have any questions regarding the laboratory lessions or the preparatory assignments.
- Location for labs E:2429. (Northeast corner of the second floor.)
- You can sign up for the labs here, also please note the information on the Grouping page.
- IMPORTANT! The lab computers are completely shielded from the internet. As a consequence, any information you believe will be needed during the lab, has to be written down/printed out beforehand. Study the questions in the lab manuals, consider what you will need to be able to solve them, and make sure you bring that information with you. Alternatively, if you trust the stability of eduroam, you may bring your own laptop, smartphone, or tablet. Bringing your own electronic device is not, however, an excuse to come unprepared.

Lab 2 Instructions
The files required for the preparatory assignments: kit2015.tar.gz
Since this lab require some C programming, and many students have not done that before we have scheduled some time when you can ask questions about the preparatory part:
Thursday 2015-02-12 10:00-12:00 in E:3139
Monday 2015-02-16 12:00-13:00 in E:3139
E:3139 is located in the five-storey building, in the same corridor as our offices.
You may also e-mail Linus if you have questions about the preparatory assignments.
If you require help during this time we will assume that you have tried to solve the problem by yourself first.
If you don't feel confident in using the Linux command-line, you should study (and perhaps bring) the booklet from the UNIX introduction of the first year (Datorstugehäftet). A PDF version can be found at DDG's website.
Laboratory 3 - Network
