We are still working on securing rooms for TA office hours. For Monday, September 9, please use room 32-G882. Once we have secured rooms, we will update the general information page with the new information.

The first hour of this week's office hours will be in the form of a tutorial that serves as an introduction to lab 1. The tutorial will walk through the basics of the C programming language, using GDB, writing exploits, and the basics of the 6.858 web server code. Monday's tutorial will be given by Sergio and Jonas, Tuesday's by Patrick, and Wednesday's by Jelle. Thursday will be Sergio's regular office hours.

We highly encourage students that are not familiar with C (pointers, stack vs. heap, etc) or with debugging C to attend one of the tutorial sessions.
