CSE480 Special Topic in CSE I Fall 2026
Learn real web attacks by conducting them yourself in weekly hands-on labs. Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:30–3:45 pm, Room 106-T205.
This course introduces various web attacks that trigger various vulnerabilities in target web services. The course also provides a lab session for each week, which helps students practice real attacks in simulated web environments. The goal of the course is to let students learn and understand various web threats via conducting the attacks by themselves.
Late submission will be assessed a penalty of 10% per day (we will only accept late submissions of up to 3 days).
Attendance is taken at every session through the UNIST Mobile Attendance System. There is no separate attendance score. However, in accordance with UNIST academic regulations, nine or more absences result in an F. Attendance may also be manually re-checked at random; leaving after checking in (a.k.a., 출튀) counts as an immediate F.
If you are unable to attend a class due to unavoidable circumstances (something beyond your control, e.g., reserve forces training or hospital visits), provide supporting documents to Prof. Wi and the absence will be counted as attendance.
We keep a participation score, which accounts for 10% of your final grade. You earn points when (1) you ask a question during class, or (2) the professor acknowledges your contribution. If you did either of these, after the class, claim your points.
The course has a weekly hands-on lab session where you practice web hacking on what you learned that week. You must solve the challenges within each lab session, and scores are given accordingly.
