L33tdawg: Precisely what we've been saying to Malaysian .edu folks all these years and why we organize things like Capture The Flag - Tower of Hackf00 Madness!

Computer hacking skills should be taught to cybersecurity students to "know the enemy" and ensure they will be equipped to effectively prevent and defend against attacks in the real world. But academia and security experts add that schools must emphasise law and ethics so students "don't cross the line" and misuse their hacking abilities.

Liew Chin Chuan, course manager of the Diploma in Infocomm Security Management (DISM) at Singapore Polytechnic (SP), said as part of the course curriculum, students learn about hacking techniques ? which are taught in the context of understanding how hacking attacks are carried out, and the countermeasures that can be put in place to prevent the attacks.

"As mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War, we need to know our enemy in order to defeat them. Hence, understanding the attackers' techniques is important for cyber defenders to set up effective defences for their systems," he told ZDNet Asia in an email interview. The diploma, which was set up in 2006, aims to produce graduates who have the skills and knowledge to detect, respond to and minimise security threats, he said. Besides ethical hacking techniques, other topics included in the course are network security, application security, operations security, security policies, computer forensics, IT audit, law and ethics, computer forensics, and business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
