Week 7 — Reflection & Review (pre-Midterm)
No new content. Consolidate Weeks 1–6 and prepare for the midterm (Weeks 8–9).
✅ This week — what to do
- Before class — review Weeks 1–6 (slides, your worksheets, the CWE/OWASP list).
- In class (300 min) — cumulative review quiz (
../../quizzes/quiz1.md) → Security Jeopardy → mock CTF in the exam format (mock-ctf.md) → debrief. - Prepare — note weak areas; the midterm is Weeks 8–9.
Time breakdown: AGENDA.md.
🎯 Signature activity — "Security Jeopardy"
Team quiz-show across all six topics with point values and a final wager:
| Threat Modeling | Tooling | Crypto | Injection | XSS | Auth & Access |
|---|
🧪 Mock CTF
A short mixed mini-CTF in the exact format of Week 9 so there are no surprises — injection, XSS, auth/IDOR, crypto. → mock-ctf.md (mock-ctf.md) (with hints).
Deliverable
Each student submits a one-page cheat sheet (eligible as an open-note aid in the exam, if the instructor allows).
Covers
Weeks 1–6: threat modeling, SDLC & tooling, cryptography, injection, XSS, authn/authz.
