I'm not an authority on training as the only training I've had is SANS, but I can vouch for the quality it.
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.
Which ones?
I'll break the ice by starting with something facetious like "What is the first thing you do with a Windows box and the last thing you do with a *NIX box when you have trouble?" 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. I have only had one person so far, answer all correctly.
Keep in mind, though, that depending upon the questions, what's 'right' may be subjective. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
