Me thinks that the two questions asked during registration regarding OSPF and HTTPS will ward off most users asking about their home linksys routers.

Nicely done.

:awesome:

I thought that too, but it very well may be too much a hindrance for some, which may or may not, be a good thing ...

I thought about that... they'd also likely ward off people that have no Google Fu. Maybe I need to hack that file to let folks know that it's open book and that they're allowed to look up the answers. Having random questions like that are designed to keep bots out that try to script answers or defeat captchas.

Maybe so, but  I had to give up on this question:


  • What is a word that means 1000Gb/sec?

:angry: I tried TBit/s, Terabps, Tb/sec, Tbps, and many other combinations. :angry:

Got in using a different question after reloading the page, but that one was very annoying.

The hex one threw me as well. Didn't know if it wanted 0xFF or just FF... Luckily FF worked (thought like a network guy vs normal computer)

I can go that route... suggested easy-breezy questions with obvious answers?

I reckon stuff like
- Under what conditions will an ASBR set a forwarding address in a Type 5 LSA?

joking, I meant stuff that won't put off newbies or have ambiguities like FF vs 0xFF (though personally I stand  by 0xFF lol). e.g.

- what is the acronym for Random Access Memory?
- what is the common network command to see if an IP address is responding
- how many bytes is 2048 bits?
