Learning Exploitation with Offensive Computer Security 2.0

Any word on how good this content may be?

The second lecture uses an interesting code snippet. An example written in java taken from a book written in 1986 used to explain a C vulnerability. Something seems out of place.

Haven't seen that lecture yet, but something sure does seem out of place : java first appeared in 1995. If there's a book from 1986 showing java code, those pesky time lords have been at it again.

Anyway, I can see some logic behind using an ancient example of a vulnerability : these things were problems back in '86, and yet now, 2016, we still haven't figured out how to prevent them. I could also see the logic behind using another language : many security flaws are language independent. "I'm using <insert language here>, so I don't need to worry about security!" - yes, you do.

I am a computer science undergrad . And stuff like this is very useful. Does anyone have links to other open courses like this?
