They only tell you the answers by filling out your email address. Maybe all they want is your email address.

Re: Are you a security wizard?

The ultimate test therefore of how 'secure' you are is if you give them an address I guess

Re: Are you a security wizard?

Though I answered one of the questions the way I felt they would want it answered, not as I would normally answer it.

Question 9.
A friend has sent you a link to an *.exe file with an invitation to run it. He/she is not online right now so you can’t check in with them. What should you do?
answer choices:
1.
Trust my friend and click on the link.
2.
Save the file and run a virus scan on it. If the file is clean, it’s probably ok to run it.
3.
Never open the link, even if it’s from my friend.
4.
Trust your firewall to block the file if it’s malicious.


They opt for answer 2. I would opt for answer 3 unless it was from someone I had asked for something. Still though, who the hell sends links to .exe files? Surely it's better to send the link to the hosting website, failing which rar and send the file, not just a bare .exe

answer file is http://dl2.agnitum.com/Agnitum_Security_Quiz.pdf

Re: Are you a security wizard?

Surprising even myself with a 27/30.

EDIT: And upon checking which 3 were wrong he reminds himself to take more time in reading/answering questionnaires.
