Abstract

At Ausweb 2000, we reported on the use of a "war games" exercise to teach Web security in a hands-on environment, after the first year of using this form of assessed exercise. This short paper updates this, reporting on nine successive years of teaching in this fashion, as well as discussing the transfer of the assessed exercise to a new university.
