I am taking a required online training on "internet security" at my new university. In order to get the course to run properly, I was advised to enable all cookies and pop-ups and relax several other security settings in my browser. Good times.

It was a test and everyone who completed the training failed the training

@actualham I'm not sure those words mean (or do) what they think they do. SMDH.

@drdrowland sadly no. But would have been a brilliant final exam

@actualham I once had to take a web-based infosec training module in order to work with a certain client.

The module was implemented in Flash.

@actualham If you want to do a network traffic capture from the perspective of a logged in user and document the security and privacy issues with the system, hit me up!

Related note: you probably shouldn't.

@actualham Our introduction to computer security started with everyone instructed to (launch a presentation by)... clicking a link in an unsolicited email. <groan>

Good time to find a better UNI, methinks!

The latest argument in favor of "those who can, do; those who can't, teach."

I'm an ex teacher, BTW/

@actualham

i was working for a large corporation during a time they were going through the due diligence for a merger. since both companies were publicly traded, there were some very strict SEC rules about access to the info from both companies.

in order for me to see said documents to do the techical review, it required that i used only windows explorer, disable all ad blockers, all security features, and authenticate over an insecure web link.

yay for security...
