This year like many others, there was put forth on sticker boards and placed around on tables a sticker. This year's Sticker Challenge was a few riddles to be solved.
8 riddles to be solved. Did you solve them ? Click for more information and the answers to these riddles.
The riddles were aimed at various hardware, software and techniques used within the realm of Cyber Security.
Just to let everyone know, no one was able to answer all of them. Some riddles contained hints of what the answers were. The most riddles answered were 6. After talking with some people, they were able to answer 7, not all 8. So without further adieu, here are the answers:
1) A Firewall
2) A Router
3) A Web Application Firewall or funny name of WAF.
4) DNS or Domain Name System
5) Encryption
6) VPN or Virtual Private Network
7) Phishing The clue that everyone missed was "bait". You need bait to go phishing ;)
8) DEFCON 33
