Computer Security Class Student Agreement
l
I understand that I am taking a class
that will teach me computer access techniques that can be used to break in to,
damage or otherwise alter ("hack") computer systems. I also
understand that it is the purpose of the class that this knowledge be used to
protect information resources and not to compromise or destroy them or
otherwise break any laws or disrupt educational, commercial or other
activities. Any access to a system without the administrator/owners permission
is illegal.
l
The following actions are clearly not
ethical:
–
Breaking into a computer system without the
permission of the owner or administrator of that computer system.
–
Doing anything that substantially interferes
with other user's access to computer-based services (i.
e., denial of service attacks).
–
Accessing computer-based information without
appropriate authorization.
–
Accessing any computer-based service without
appropriate authorization.
–
Unauthorized monitoring of electronic
communication.
l
I agree that I will not damage, disrupt or
access any computer systems or other students work during this class. I also
understand that I will be expected to work with other students to test
security, but I agree that it will always be done with their knowledge. I
addition I will not destroy or damage their work and will let them know what I
have accessed on their system. I will cease accessing their system when asked.
l When in doubt, ask your instructor.
l
I understand that if I can not accept these
terms, I can drop the class with no academic penalty. Once accepted, their
violation entitles the class administrator to administer disciplinary
consequences, which may include an ‘F’ in this course and reporting to
university authorities, if I fail to abide by these agreements.
