Computer virusology
A new course at the University of Calgary (Canada) will teach students how to write computer viruses. It’s the first course of its kind in the world. The course is not designed to teach students how to commit computer virus crimes, but rather to teach them how to combat the viruses that annually cost the computer industry millions of euros. The course will be taught in a closed computer lab and once inside students are prohibited from using mobile phones. The course also examines the legal and ethical aspects of ‘malware’. Currently, there are some 80,000 viruses, worms and Trojans Horses in cyber-circulation. www.ucalgary .ca
