Any particular instructors? I find it hard to believe that someone who is an instructor at SANS would endorse tools like inzider. But I do know other instructors that are pretty darned good...Jennifer Kolde, for example. > ...when I see certain letters, I do pay closer > attention.

Answer: reboot. I agree that would be a good way to break the ice, but from a professional standpoint, I don't think it's a great idea. In the real world, rebooting a Windows box isn't the first thing you should be doing. I might be concerned that with such a question, that might give the candidate an improper impression of how the company conducts itself. The rest of your questions are good ones to ask, but again, for Robert, I really think it depends on what sorts of services the company plans to offer. > For sysadmins, I ask easier, more system specific > questions, but for > security I ask broad, tough questions because of the > requirements of the > field.

Keep in mind, though, that depending upon the questions, what's 'right' may be subjective. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
