CS0-003 Lesson 1 Question 14 typo: "patchwork"

The Official CompTIA CySA+ (Exam CS0-003) Lesson 1 Question 14:

Inaccurate content: “A system administrator is performing patchwork on their organization's system. The administrator realizes the maintenance window will close before they complete the patchwork.”

Explanation: “Patchwork” means something made up of an incongruous variety of pieces or parts; hodgepodge.

Suggested correction: change “patchwork” to “patch work.”

It seems that errors in version1.0 of course materials are not corrected before the course is replaced three years later. Is this true?

Does anyone here know CompTIA's policies and procedures for correcting inaccurate course materials?

  • Question
To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

I have probably asked this question many times. I am asking this question because the CTT+ certification is no longer available. And I would like to deliver official CompTIA courses officially with the CompTIA partner network. To deliver the classes, do I need this CTT+ Credential? @Stephen Schneiter Thanls a lot

Application of credits for exam renewal

Hey guys!

A few weeks ago, I submitted the credits (50 CEUs) I received after achieving the Cisco CCNA CyberOps certification, to renew the CompTIA Security+ certification. In the section dedicated to Continuing Education of Certmetrics, credits have been applied (100%), but the expiration date remains the same: 3 years after obtaining Security+. Should I wait until it expires, so that it is automatically renewed, is that it? And once renewed, are the other certifications (A+ and Network+) also renewed?

Thanks for any clarification.

Lesson 5 practice questions for Security+ 701 in learn.comptia.org includes Cloud questions?

Hello,

During a Security+ 701 course week, students will try the learn.comptia.org practice questions for the 16 lessons we deliver for the 701 level exam. I have noticed that lesson 5 questions which are for the Network Architecture will have Cloud-related questions that were not discussed yet during lesson 5, Cloud topics are lesson 6 and should therefore appear for lesson 6 questions, not lesson 5, has anyone else noticed this?

CySA+ CS0-003 prep warning - instructor manual missing slides from margin notes

Previous CompTIA instructor manuals had margin notes showing where each slide fits into the topics. For example, the Security+ SY0-701 instructor manual does a good job of listing almost every slide in the margin notes. In the CySA+ (CS0-003) instructor manual, starting with Lesson 6, the margin notes say “Show slide(s)”, but not when to show each slide. For example:

Lesson 6 has 20 content slides. Only 10 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,8,9,11,12,18,19,20,21

Lesson 7 has 20 content slides. Only 4 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,1516,17,18,20,21,22, and 23.

Lesson 8 has 31 content slides. Only 12 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,25,26, and 27.

If course materials aren't quality checked and fixed during development, this work has to be done by each instructor. I corrected these and other omissions in my copy of the manual. I would share my corrected manual with other instructors, however I don't think that is allowed.

Comp Sci Teacher in Colorado Springs Seeking a New Position in the Area

My campus has decided to focus on BioMed and Engineering as Academies and cut Comp Sci due to decreasing campus enrollment. I need to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

I was previously a physics teacher but currently teach PLTW CS Essential, PLTW CS Cybersecurity, IB Comp Sci SL, and Comp Apps 1 & 2. I have taught AP CSP and went through the training for AP CS A. IB SL is also usually taught in Java.

All my courses are tied to college credit and industry certifications from CDE's CDIP List. I host four after-school clubs: National Technical Honor Society, Coding Club, Cybersecurity Competition Team, and Strategy Gaming Club. I am qualified to teach all 7-12 Math and Science courses in Colorado and Texas. I also have SPED and ESL certs in Texas.

I am the chair of our district's Comp Sci Advisory Board. I have been asked for next year to be the Comp Sci / Cybersec SME for the Pike Peak Business & Education Alliance.

Corrections for CAS-004 content before using the content in CAS-005 / SecurityX

My compliments to the CAS-004 developers! I have taught CAS-004 several times, and found almost no errors in the student manuals.

Is anyone here working on developing the new CAS-005 / SecurityX materials?

@Stephen Schneiter does the development team want instructors to report inaccurate content? Does the team have a list of known errors so we can see what has already been reported?

Suggested CAS-004 content corrections before reusing the content in CAS-005 / SecurityX:

Page 117 “DSTS”

Suggested correction:
change to “HSTS”
Explanation:
HSTS is an initialism for “HTTP Strict Transport Security.”

Page 121 “Jack the Ripper”
Suggested correction:
change to “John the Ripper”
Explanation:
John the Ripper is a password cracking tool. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer.

Page 297 “director traversal”
Suggested correction:
change to “directory traversal”
Explanation:
In directory traversal, an attacker manipulates file paths.

Module 9, PowerPoint slide 16: “Block Ciphers”
Suggested correction: change to “Modes of Operation”
Explanation: A block cipher is a type of encryption algorithm. Block ciphers can have different modes of
operation. This slide covers modes of operation. As the slide notes point out, modes of operation are
techniques paired with symmetric encryption, they are not encryption algorithms.
