Been in the technical interviewer role once. I did feel like an asshole for asking what seemed like a trivia question but they were all very basic things meant to be a starting point to pull on the thread and use that to have a conversation. I asked multiple questions like that because they keep saying they didn't know what I was talking about. This was a non-entry level security job and the questions were simple things like "do you know what a sql injection is?" Or "do you know what a dns record is? Is so, what is the purpose of the SOA record?" It was fine if they didn't know really, "I know what sql is but I don't know what a sql injection is" is a good enough answer.
It was horrible. Never want to be the reason someone didn't get a job again lol.
