Thu Sep 20

The next two assignments are posted :

• for next Tuesday, continue in your study of the chapter 3 material, from whichever sources you like best, and report on your progress.
• BOMB LAB due the Thursday following that - two weeks from today, for one of your 3-ish term grades.

No class next Thursday - community service day. So we'll have today and Tuesday to continue to discuss the chapter 3 material, then you should engage seriously with with the bomb lab. Ask any questions about the material the Tuesday we return, and have your results and writeup ready by Thursday Oct 4. This is essentially your midterm project for this course.

Today :

• Show where to find the bomblab and how to run it on shannon.
• Go over my bomblab_warmup code and notes.
• Continue to work through and discus the chapter 3 cmu slides, especially procedure calls.

Questions?

Aside:

Dylan, a former student, liked "radare2" which is installed on shannon as "r2". I've put a link to its "bible" in the resources.
