This is completely off topic (the feature is irrelevant to the contents of
the course).
But - you are misunderstanding :) And yes I took a course in which I was
expected to demonstrate attacks on people's computers using e.g.

give courses in which you learn that there's these things called man in the
middle, buffer overflows and return-oriented programming!
