Structured Programming

Cybersecurity
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Cyber attacks are not limited to any one type and range from social engineering attacks to the use of specially crafted programs. For a Cybersecurity professional, understanding a programming language can be an invaluable resource to recognize vulnerabilities in a particular application, understand how an attacker could exploit those vulnerabilities, realize what a piece of software is doing, and even if it is malicious or not. That is the context in which this CU addresses the subject of computer programming, approaching the basic concepts of structured programming as they exist in most programming languages. The CU uses the C programming language. Created in 1972, and used to develop the most popular Operating Systems, it remains the language of choice for systems programming. Given it¿s success, it has also influenced a significant number of other, more recent, programming languages, whose study can be leveraged by the insights gathered in this CU.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Use of project-based learning methodology through which students are encouraged to develop solutions for problems that are posed to them, and that address most of the topics taught. This methodology aims for the creation of a "product", which represents a solution to the proposed problem.
