ShmooCon XX (Final) · Day 2 · Bring It On
ShmooFAQ is ShmooCon's annual, highly anticipated, and often chaotic quiz show, a cornerstone event that blends technical acumen with pop culture references and community engagement. Far from a traditional technical presentation, this talk serves as a live, interactive competition designed to test the diverse knowledge base of cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts across a wide spectrum of topics. Hosted by the inimitable Lint Tile and featuring a rotating cast of readers, ShmooFAQ challenges teams of up to five participants through six intense "periods" of multiple-choice questions.
AI review
This 'session,' if one can even call it that, is nothing more than a poorly disguised pub quiz. While I appreciate the effort to entertain, a conference slot is for *actual research*, not a chaotic trivia game filled with basic, rehashed facts from 'Kindergarten' to 'SISP' certification prep. There is zero technical depth, zero novel contribution, and absolutely zero actionable intelligence for any attendee worth their salt. This is an insult to the intellectual rigor expected at a serious security conference.
