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

I'm a warlock.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

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

Attachment 20536

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.

18/30 not too bad for this Warlock

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

The best security question to ask is why the URL has the words VOTE in the title.. In that case you've all failed :rolleyes:

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

24/30 Yet i only got one wrong (the botnet one) :confused:

Hackers aren`t all bad ;) plus i disagree with what they claim spyware is also they contradict themselves :rolleyes:

Is the new Outpost Pro out soon :p:

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

20 out of 30. Happy with that.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Eww 14 out of 30 what a dunce!:dunce:

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

23/30. Not bad!

I'm a warlock! :)

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

We have something at work re-Data Protection. It's humourous to a point with some of the answers, but highly subjective and open to all kinds of intepretations.
Written by market researchers with little idea of what a computer is.

22/30 BTW and having seen the answers would dispute those wrong.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

28/30, only wrong one being the exe question, because relying on a virus scanner to tell you something is fine is still dumb, although it does say "probably ok", which is true.


I'd love to see which you'd dispute as the only one I would think of disputing would be the one about running the EXE, there definitely aren't another 3 which can be argued any other way.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

28/30, well pleased with that!

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

I`d certainly dispute the terminology for spyware, surely a keylogger is spyware!

From Wiki so it must be right :rolleyes: :D

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

19/30..I'm harry potter's owl

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

27/30 - shame they don't say which you got wrong.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

15/30 so i'm half good :dozey: anywhoo better see what this .exe is that's just apeared in my inbox :dunce:

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

You mean in the question which asks which is NOT an activity of spyware, with the answer being one of the other options rather than a keylogger?

So you're disputing the fact they've said a keylogger is spyware because a keylogger is spyware?

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Wizard 26/30 wahooooooo

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Should read more careful :dunce: Still imo no2 would be classed as Adware :p:

At the end of the day it`s all Malware and their right that AV`s are behind the curve, i mean most don`t even share samples which is just wrong!!!

Maybe this will all change soon ;)

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

24/30 not bad for an old fart :D

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

10/30 reminds me of school reports "must do better"

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

I got 23/30

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

I got 20, apparently I'm on the right road lol

Just took the test again and got 15 right this time :)


And try this phishing quiz!

Phishing and Spam IQ Quiz by SonicWALL

I got 8 right on it :)

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

28/30, do you get an automatic fail if you ask for an unknown PDF to be sent to you :dozey:

Re: Are you a security wizard?

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Man I'd sure hope they'd update an information security questionnaire at least once in five years...

---------- Post added at 02:43 ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 ----------

Lol! Indeed, downloading images is insecure but accepting PDFs from unknown sources that just happen to rely on one of the buggiest, insecure, and exploit-ridden pieces of software out there...

... I don't see the problem with that. :rolleyes:

I'd also dispute the answer to question 9, especially given their explanation contradicts itself. There's never a good reason for ordinary end users to be emailing each other .exe files. That's why every sane email provider has banned it.

Funny enough that's the only question I got "wrong" but apparently saying you should never open .exe files from emails results in getting ten points deducted. :rolleyes:

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

22/30

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Your final score is 18 out of 30.
You’re headed in the right direction, but your knowledge needs straightening out a bit.
Thought I would get a lower score as I'm not very clued up on this as I leave all this to my eldest son.

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

Your final score is 25 out of 30.
You’re truly a Security Wizard!

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

28/30 without really thinking. Wonder if you loose 2 points for doing the test in the first place?

Re: Are you a security wizard?
 

I broke the survey.

Probably didn't like the Ip change mid session.
