I think it's exaggerating a bit when it's called "All you wanted to know". There are many things I want to know, but I know how to learn about them, the only problem is time. The other things I might want to know, are hard to learn because of hardware requirements, or because the technology or knowledge doesn't exist yet.

Anyway, for a beginner event, I guess "All you want to know" can be anything, starting from "Pentesting is penetration testing, and a DNS A record is for IP addresses, done", ending to what ROP chains are and how they work.

C'mon guys, it's a title. We are allowing everyone to ask their questions and to vote for others questions. Only those questions will be answered.

So if there's something you want to know and it's a common question, it will get answered.

Well no, it's career-related question, I couldn't be any clearer in my post and webinar description.

For someone who has read my post before hitting REPLY, It's VERY clear, that we are not going to deal with technical questions.

Having that said, I appreciate staying in this industry because even when you do something for free, there's always someone who pushes you to do better.

Well, it's cool you're hosting this event for free. But common questions are not "all you wanted to know" for most hackers  ;D But I am still glad you do this for free and for e.g. newbies in the community / industry.
