Teaching Internet security principles via hands-on activities
Unique among computer security texts, this book, in its third edition, builds
on the author's long tradition of teaching complex subjects through a hands-on
approach. For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on
activities to help explain the principle. Readers can "touch", play with, and
experiment with the principle, instead of just reading about it. The hands-on
activities are based on the author's widely adopted SEED Labs, which have been
used by over 1000 institutes worldwide. The author has also published online
courses on Udemy based on this book.
