The ‘Stats’

This is Part-1 of the post-exercise Survey

(Part-2 — The Comments and responses will be posted Wednesday, November 13th)

* Total of 70 responses.
* 54 responded with the correct Q4 Code (1 additional response had a partial code)

Responses to individual questions (with some notes):

1. Where did you get the survey link?
AIB: 53
During the exercise: 30
Web posting: 3

NOTE: This was a “choose all that apply” question so some responses indicated more than one answer

 

2. Did you receive the code during the exercise?
Yes: 59
No: 11

 

Questions 3-6 were answered ONLY by those who answered “YES” to question 2 (59 responses).

3. What was the Q4 code
“38325”: 54
“38fr”: 1
There were 4 respondents that did not enter a value, even though they answered “yes” to #2

 

4. What was the SHA1 hash of the .k2s file you received? (This was a ‘bonus’ survey question)
30 total responses, but only 26 even resembled a SHA1 hash.
Table below is hash followed by the number of responses.

NOTE:  The ‘hash’ of a file is simply a unique fingerprint of a file.

It is not encryption, nor is it a ‘code’.

This was another “choose all that apply” so some respondents had more than one answer.
