Gozer the Gozerian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

I do love it. But it is a hard burn.

4.) Do the same with HTTP methods

Sure. Doesn't change the fact the SOC interviewees didn't know a program from a hole in the ground. Had no idea who Stallman or Torvalds were. And couldn't grep a security incident out easy to find IOC in a Nginx or Apache log.

So I now make every applicant take a security quiz.

Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, darth.

Every single recent applicant tells me “immunity debugger”, because that is the only thing they learned in class.
