TECH 5271

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral. It is Kranzberg's First Law that will guide this highly interactive and non-technical introduction to redteaming, the practice of testing products through the point of view of an adversary rather than that of an average consumer. Participants will work both individually and in groups to discover unintended and possibly harmful behaviors for popular digital tools, inhabiting the mindset of a scammer, a malicious state actor, or a troll. Participants should leave this course with a product-agnostic framework that helps them find possible abuse vectors before threat actors get to it.
