    How can I appreciate the “beauty” in computer science?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2018 01:04 PM PDT

    I'm doing a computer science/physics joint major. It's easy for me to like physics because it describes the laws of nature which I intrinsically find interesting and mysterious. I've never been into technology but I like some math, science, and philosophy of science. I know computer science is also theoretically deep but so far I've just learned about some graph theory, time complexity, algorithms, Chomsky Hierarchy, etc. At first glance these things spiked my interest but they became dryer the more I learnt about them. To me it's just about organizing information which is extremely useful but not awe inspiring. I'm wondering why I have an affinity for physics, but not for computer science. Anyway, my main goal with computer science is to become computationally literate because I know that will carry over into physics research and industry if I decide to go that route. I know there's people out there that are seriously interested in computer science and the deeper nature of it, so I'm wondering how they view the discipline. As with most people, it's a lot more fulfilling when you're interested in what you're studying.

    Security exploitation for someone with a background in programming, OS, and networking

    Posted: 20 Apr 2018 02:36 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm a 3rd year college student studying comp sci and I really want to get more into security and exploitation as I eventually want to be a white hat. I am currently taking a course in cybersecurity but I would like a bit more practical knowledge to complement this.

    Do any of you have any recommendations for a book about exploitation and/or defense for someone with a sound knowledge of OS and networking already and doesn't necessarily need a book with a lot of background info?

    Thanks so much!
