Most of the questions were scenario based. Study networking thoroughly (In and Out) (eg protocols like HTTP, FTP, DNS, DHCP etc). Have good knowledge on malware analysis. The questions were easy. But they see how in depth you can go into. Some questions involved in such a way you need to think both as a hacker and defender. Know some idea on log analysis. You may need to parse logs by writing code and print values according to the question. Some moderate Web security questions were asked too.
