Literature
  • Literatura dle tématické skupiny.
Teaching methods
In lectures, the students create programs in given area, usually one per week, finishing it as individual work. Lectures contains necessary theoretical introduction. Remaining time is devoted to solve practical programming problems with employment of related development tools.
Assessment methods
During the whole semester, student will undertake several programming homework and/or a project. The amount of homework and final evaluation criteria are specified by each tematic group.

Teacher's information

The groups/topics for a given semester will be announced via email before the start of seminar group enrolment and they will be filled to this page.

Currently, we know of the following topics for spring 2023:

  • Programming in Perl language (Roman Lacko, Czech) – the main goal is to teach basics of Perl language, demonstrate proper usage and good practices. The teaching is spread over the whole semester (2 hours/week).
  • Binary exploitation (Milan Patnaik, English, 4 weeks intensive) – The group will cover basics of reverse engineering of binaries, writing exploits including Return Oriented Programming (ROP) and microarchitectural attacks (Meltdown, Spectre). The teaching will be given in English language and will have form of a condensed intensive training during 4 weeks (6-8 hours/week).

    • Example topics: Image processing, Applied cryptography and secure programming, Systems programming in Linux, Implementing an interpreter in C++, Efficient programming, Implementing a small OS kernel, Binary analysis and disassembly.

The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2010, Autumn 2011, Autumn 2012, Autumn 2013, Autumn 2014, Autumn 2015, Spring 2016, Autumn 2016, Spring 2017, Autumn 2017, Spring 2018, Autumn 2018, Spring 2019, Autumn 2019, Spring 2020, Autumn 2020, Spring 2021, Autumn 2021, Spring 2022, Autumn 2022, Autumn 2023, Spring 2024, Autumn 2024, Spring 2025.
