ISECOM’s Hacker High School

I’ve spoken with many students, faculty and consulting clients about ISECOM‘s Hacker High School. Now no less an organization than IEEE has published a great article on Hacker Highschool:

Hacker High School is a program for (you guessed it) high school students. The curriculum is free/open source, and is used all over the world. It’s an especially popular program in South America, though it’s been run in the US and Europe as well.

The goal is not to raise a generation of hackers (though considering China’s Blue Army, we could use such a thing). Instead, it’s to educate some of our most voracious consumers of the Internet about how people try to hack them, how their trust is exploited, and how to be a smarter Web user. Check it out, and ISECOM and the OSSTMM as well. You’ll be amazed at the resources they offer.
