Slideshows

[peyrin]

A bunch of concepts we teach can be shown with step-by-step diagrams: memory safety exploits on stack diagrams, step-by-step crypto protocols, web protocols, and networking protocols. It would be nice to integrate some sort of slideshow feature into the book so students can step through these diagrams.

I've looked into Bootstrap Carousels but not to great success (it also has animation when you go between slides which isn't great). I'd also consider looking into RevealJS which is what Pamela Fox used to make 61A's HTML lecture slideshows.

Memory safety slideshow diagram ideas:

• x86 function call/return
• RISC-V function call/return? (for 61C alums to compare to?)
• Classic buffer overflow
• Ret-to-libc
• ROP
• Defeat canary (HW2 question)
• Off-by-one (Project 1 Q4)
• Ret-to-esp? (Project 1 Q6, possibly obsolete?)

Crypto slideshow diagrams:

• Block cipher chaining (possibly reference AES iPython notebook?)
• Diffie-Hellman exchange
• El Gamal encryption
• RSA encryption
• RSA signatures
• Length extension attacks (possibly reference crypto lab?)

Web slideshow diagrams:

• Cookies
• CSRF
• XSS (stored and reflected)

Networking slideshow diagrams:

• ARP
• DHCP
• WPA
• BGP
• TCP
• TLS
• DNS
• DNSSEC
• DoS (amplification, SYN flood)
• Tor

Alternatively, just embed Google Slides into Markdown (example).

...yeah, that's probably the best short-term solution. Doesn't feel like it's the most lightweight/accessible but I could be wrong, and it's certainly more than adequate for SP22.
