Gazpacho posted:idk what you mean by that but it sounds like a poor interview q (phone or in person) it has an extremely well defined answer the answer is "its not very good and is entirely signature based, maybe as we move towards more of a cloud based "reputation" system we'll start having better success against emerging threats" its not meant to be a puzzle or whatever its just to find out if you know whats up or not and is short and sweet your other suggestions are decent though

I like to ask super basic open ended questions to throw people off, like "what is an IP address" or "what does encryption do" to really see how people have grasped concepts fundamental to stuff I do. Or you could ask what kind of fruit they would be if they were a fruit.

I like to ask them if they have any hobbies they're in to. typically helps make small talk, you learn smth, and if they spent the weekend rolling a custom kernel on their BSD box maybe that passion translates to something at work. might be better for an in person interview though

Again and again, in interviews and surveys, one is asked what hobby one has. If the illustrated magazines report on one of those entertainment celebrities, of whom to speak constitutes a preoccupation with the same, they seldom fail to list, more or less intimately, the person's hobbies. In the self-explanatory quality of the question of what hobbies one has, it resonates that one must have some; perhaps even a selection that matches the leisure business's offerings. Organized freedom is compulsory. Woe if you have no hobby, no free time activity. Then you are a swot, an old-timer, an eccentric, and subject to ridicule in a society that dictates to you what your free time shall be. This compulsion is not only an external one. It knits itself into the needs of people under the functioning system.
