Using dd to duplicate disks

Michael Stout
There isn't a way to run MD5 (or any other hashing algorithm) directly with dd.

If you'd like to validate your copy, I'd suggest the following, and visually compare the hashes.

Bash: 
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progress

$ sudo md5sum /dev/sda
$ sudo md5sum /dev/sdb

for SHA256

Bash: 
$ sudo shasum -a 256 /dev/sda
$ sudo shasum -a 256 /dev/sdb

First Time CertMaster Learn and Labs User

Good afternoon. I hope to use the Integrated CertMaster Learn and Labs for Project+ in my IT Project Management college course soon. I found TestOut last year and have integrated the LabSim courseware into a few of our IT courses. The students and faculty love it.

I am beginning my research into setting up CertMaster Learn and Labs and would appreciate any tips/tricks. At first glance, it doesn't appear as user-friendly or intuitive as TestOut LabSim.

Thanks, Chris

Hey Chris! Happy to put you into contact with someone here at CompTIA that provide some guidance as well, can you send me your more detailed contact information (Email, organization, etc.) either here or in a direct message if you would prefer?

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

Gregory Childers
If you're doing the cybersecurity track, do the certifications in this order so each new one renews all the previous ones.

1, A+
2. Network+
3. Security+
4. CySA+ or PenTest+
5. PenTest+ or CySA+
6. CASP+

CySA+ and PenTest+ are considered to be at the same level. Neither will automatically renew the other, but you can submit one to fulfill the CEUs for the other. It's a manual process, not automatic.

All the other higher level certs renew all previous lower level certs.

I passed all six of those exams in that order, and each new one renewed all the previous ones. Then I passed ISACA's CISM, which renewed my CASP+ and everything underneath it. I passed the CISSP last fall, so technically, I could use it to renew my CISM, my CASP+, and all the lower-level CompTIA certifications.

I have Data+. The only renewal paths for it are passing the next version, passing an authorized non-CompTIA data certification, or continuing education.

I also have Cloud+. I took the beta version for the next version of Cloud+ and am waiting for the results. If I pass, that cert is renewed for another three years.

nmap default ports scanned

Michael Stout
The default ports scanned are 1000 of the ports Nmap believe to be the most important.
The -F scan will scan 100 ports.

Other scanning options would be, using -p include

Bash: 
$ nmap 192.168.0.9 -p80
$ nmap 192.168.0.9 -p0-1023
$ nmap 192.168.0.9 -p22,23,25,110,3389
$ nmap 192.168.0.9 -p0-65535

or my personal faviorite for all 65536 TCP ports
Bash: 
$ nmap 192.168.0.9 -p-
