(*** Annual Pub Quiz Edition ***)
Sponsored by :

Every 12 months we take a break from our normal talks (see past talk details are on our wiki on http://corksec.com/) to celebrate our anniversary with a friendly and geeky pub quiz. This year we are a month later than normal ,because remembering months is hard apparently. Expect a night with random security and tech trivia, random facts, lots of fun and prizes! To help dispel your fear of horrible questions - here are 2 from a previous year. We try to make questions guessable, its supposed to be a fun quiz - not an exam!

  • In what year was the Stuxnet virus found? 2008, 2010, or 2012
  • In the APT (Advanced Persistant Threats) naming convention of Crowdstrike - they use different animals to represent different countries they attributed an attack to e.g. Energetic Bear. Russia is Bear, US is Eagle. What animal is used for China?

LOGISTICS:

  • This years pub Quiz will take place over a Teams Meeting (so you share video and be more interactive), and using Sli.do for questions
  • Questions will be multiple choice, and quiz will run for around 90 min, followed by prize giving
  • Different from previous years - the online nature and Covid-19 timing means that this will be a quiz with individual competitors (instead of our normal teams of 4). You can still have multiple people behind your account (lets be honest - its hard to police!) but we will only have one prize per competitor
  • Prizes will be shipped directly to the Winners (so we'll need you to ping us an address or email), who must at least be based in Ireland.

PRIZES:
Raspberry Pi 4 Pro Starter Kit
Airpods
Hak5 Key Croc
RFID Duplicator/Emulator
Echo Dot
Smart Speakers
RTL SDR Kits
Car charger for Apple & Android phones
Security Books
Amazon Vouchers

SPONSORS:

  • Every year we do this would not be possible without the generous support of our Pub Quiz Sponsors including generous support from AKEERO, IT@Cork Skillnet and eSentire
