"I'm amazed he knew things in such detail. I mean who would know just how long a MAC address is? Or what the actual SYN/ACK etc tcp flags are?"
I was more impressed by how simply he explained many of them in real-world terms. Especially countering Big O. That plus what he's already built indicates he's exactly the kind of person to direct the sort of projects they're building. That they filtered him with this garbage Q&A speaks volumes about Google's ineffective hiring. Plus, indicates what kind of people might have made it into the organization.
