Dunno if CS 161, Computer Security, is available but it's a great course. Wagner or Weaver both have their points.
CS 70 should make the list but the lecture notes are enough.
Strongly prefer Kubi for OS or pretty much anything.

The slides are really excellent. You will miss the opportunity of Weaver frothing at the mouth and using expletives willy nilly. Popa is clearly smart but needs to turn her mic up.
This is a great course. Unless Kubi is teaching 162, anyone should sub 161 for 162. And suffer. Berkeley has a murderers row of good security people. Song, Weaver, Wagner, Popa, .... If Song teaches 261 again, I'm gonna sit in.
I sat in on 161 since I live in the area. Some of it is a repeat of 70 material. I just think it's a great course.
I'd been a reader for 61C (another great course) and I'd suggested adding a stack smashing lab. This was before Wagner created 161 and they were ummm hesitant to teach undergrads the dark arts.
