The problem with these, and many Usenix/LISA/SANS conferences
are that it stops at 101. The papers are great, but once you
been on the course rides, that's about it.

What about a multi-course curriculum for SA work? For firewalls?
Not a BS level thing, but what are the courses that one would need
to add onto a BS? Or to prepare undergrad? The ACM courses are ok
(and just ok) for basic computer education.

Keep in mind that specifics (ex: IP) are not the goal, general
methodology is (networking machines).

I can only hope that high schools have stopped teaching BASIC as the
"computer course" (and what % of students hate computers because of
that?)

The ACM suggests (as I recall)
General Computing, Data Structures, Algorithms, Comp. Architecture, etc.

What can/should be changed/included to get someone good at:
Secure programming
Firewall building
etc

Discuss
