Abstract

Many security concepts become more clear to students when operationalized in the context of a programming language. Unfortunately, many programming systems and development environments are complex and not easily learned or used. Python is a simple programming language system with extensive library support for programming in general and security programming in particular. This paper describes using Portable Python to teach security concepts in the context of man-in-the-middle attacks.
