> Uh, my main languages are PHP and Python (high level stuff) and I'm a student (not someone with 10 years of experience) but I knew that. 3 bytes for the vendor block, 3 bytes for the device.

Thanks for the refresher! I knew that too when I was in college. Good luck remembering that 5 years from now :)

Thanks for the snarky remark.

I did not learn this because some course demanded I learn a text book by heart. I'm not doing that kind of theoretical university. I knew that particular thing because I look at a lot of packet captures.

Still know that 20 years down the line, but then I do networking stuff routinely. If the candidate was interviewing for anything network related (the article is down atm), it's fair game.
