Patricia Y. Logan, Allen Clarkson · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2005

The introduction of "red teaming" and attack-based exercises into information security courses presents a potential ethical problem. This paper explores the issues involved in designing an information security course with lab components that involve destructive actions.
