Ok. Cute survey but the questions are certainly food for thought for those that are "new" or strictly home-security types: http://www.agnitum.com/vote/stquiz/start.php

Well, it seems if you don't allow cookies, you can't get passed the first 2 questions.
I don't know if that means I know what I'm doing ??
That's typical of online quizzes.
I don't like their definition of a hacker! :fpissed:
quick run through, 18 / 30
me is a Warlock :eek:
you need to get the answers though, to help you improve .........
Im right with you Foxyloxley, 18 it is.
I got as far as:
A software firewall is designed to:
But the correct answer "Give the home user a false sense of security" was not listed.
Being one of those on line quiz things, I gave it its due and went to the next question.
The term “hacker” refers to people who:
After reading the listed answers, it became obvious that The security experts at Agnitum are a bunch of nit wits, Blooming idiots, Dumb asses, Morons even!

20/30 I knew the correct answer for one that I got wrong, but instead I selected the one that I actually do in practice, which is just delete e-mails with attachments, no matter who they're from. All those videos and PowerPoint presentations are usually inane and not worth the effort.
sending exes is just wrong...
and saying its ok if its scanned is just wrong too
I got it wrong cause I do the same thing...
delete.....if it gets through the filters
MLF
executables are out of the question, I wouldn't even entertain anything but deleting. But I delete all of them, any kind of e-mail with an attachment, unless it's something I expect and I need.
I got 25 / 30. I am a Security Wizard (or at least Agnitum thinks so)
Some virus on my computer prevented me from taking the quiz! :eek7:
(seriously, I got 23/30 woohoo!)
Well 28 out of 30 I guess isn't to bad :)
20 out of 30 I am a warlock ya ok
no really you should be able to awnser these questions knowing about just the basic risk will at the very least make you more aware of online mishaps
I thought some of the answers were 'judgement' calls. For instance,
the emailed .exe's...I wouldn't consider opening one unless it was in
a 'sandbox' like a virtual machine. We deal with a lot of attachments
at work, but the .exe's never see the light of day.
Another is the question about the principal drawback of AV apps. For
myself, the system resouces issue is right up there with reliance on
defs and heuristics. But then, I'm not a high-risk user who's typically
infected. And after my recent experience with SAV 10.1, there should've
been a choice about poorly-written buggy apps.
A malicious app that sends itself to all contacts in an address book?
That's not spyware? Technically I guess it better describes a virus,
but I think the line's been sufficiently blurred between viruses and spyware
this one could go either way.
Question 10: emails from your bank? The truly correct answer isn't there.
No bank is going to send you an email asking you to log into your online
acc't via a link. Period. One should not ever consider accessing an
online acc't via an email. Especially on December 20th. :)
Accessing the internet via hotel wifi? The best protectrion isn't even
there: VPN. If nothing else, run JanusVM when on wifi hotspots.
And then there's their definition of a hacker. Another judgement call.
I got 23/30 aswell.
Why was their no option to run linux/bsd?Quote:
How do you decrease the susceptibility of your computer to malware attacks?
Hmmmm,
Probably because it isn't an option............well not in an intelligent security conversation?Quote:
Why was their no option to run linux/bsd?
Hell, I have a box that runs an OS that there are only 114 malwares on the face of this Planet for........... does that make it secure? errrrh, well, no.
It just means that I cannot use it for much :D
"Security through obscurity is not security"
Write that out 500 times boy!
