Teaching hacking helps students, professors say

Teaching hacking helps students, professors say: "As a professor of computer science at the City College of San Francisco, Bowne wanted to find a way to make computer security accessible to the average student. So, following his trip to DEFCON last year, he talked with the administrators at CCSF and got permission to start up a class with a hacking lab. The first course -- called 'Ethical Hacking and Network Defense' -- was an total success, he told attendees at the DEFCON on Friday."
