Why do you learn it?

• I once used the SEED lab VM, which this course is based on
• This course (taught by University of Maryland) is the best hands-on cybersecurity course I've ever known
• I plan to study info-sec in graduate school, and this course will strengthen my fundamental knowledge

Is it free?

• By all means, yes!
• You might need to apply for a financial aid to unlock the assessment part (along with a cert), otherwise you will be unable to test your knowledge
• and don't worry, Coursera grants you free access as long as you ask them for it

What will I learn?

• Here is the syllabus of Software Security
• From the way I see it:
  • Binary part
  • Web part
  • Defense
  • Code review
  • Pentest
• Of course, this is just Software Security
