Oh! Ouch! I have GOT to remember that one!!

Thank you for making my day!!

I have been interviewing people for a couple of security positions at
one of my clients. I have interviewed so many CISSPs that have ZERO
technical knowledge (half cannot even tell me the difference between TCP
and UDP, or tell me what is Kerberos) that it is astounding that they
could have even passed the CISSP exam.
