About the C-Exam
Ok, I have calmed down now. The exam was actually harder than I have expected, and there were a few surprising questions:
- Some questions on Pastry, instead of "fundamental" questions on general systems areas.
- A question on language security, which I know virtually nothing about.
- Enumeration of possible new features you can bring with a specific piece of hardware, more on testing creativity than knowledge.
- A question on whether I have read a specific narrow paper in security. Of course, I haven't.
- A question on how to hack a remote machine!
