...I still got back on, got caught up, and updated the Cyber Cache with links from last night's TTT.

What's the Cyber Cache? A collection of information, toys, and tools you can use in your classrooms or in the field.

The Black Fedora's Cyber Cache​

Meanwhile, if you have something you think should go into the Cache, shoot it over to me via DM or reply here and I'll add it (and you'll get credit as a contributor). This is a great resource to have for Sec+, CySA+, PenTest+, and CASP+ folks.

In the meantime, make sure you jump in and get involved on the TTT.

I passed SY0-701 yesterday. The content I am presenting for SY0-601 was prominent in the SY0-701 test. Cannot recall anything new in the new test.

Not good. Not bad. Just sharing.

Hey All:

Does anyone have more information on this announcement for AI training.
https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/pr...roduct-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains

Through the new Essentials and Expansions Series, CompTIA will address the need for AI skills competencies in four existing job clusters: software development, cybersecurity, systems operations (SysOps) and data analytics; and two emerging job roles, prompt engineering and AI systems architects.

YES! We are offering a Special Edition Sneak Peek! As you know Network+ is launching in May! Along with the new exam, it will also come with an updated, innovative learning platform with new features! Join us for a Sneak Peek of the content platform and what it offers for instructors along with tools designed to enhance your Network+ teaching and learning experience.

The Product Team has curated two distinct webinars to cater to our diverse audience, depending on whether you're familiar with the TestOut or CompTIA portfolio of learning products. Our presenters, representatives from the CompTIA Products Team alongside experienced instructor/practitioners, are eager to guide you through the new features and offerings.

Topics for each session will include:

• evolution in sequence and structure from the N10-008 to N10-009 courses
• an overview of the N10-009's approach to videos, assessments, and labs
• introduction to the new network modeler tool
• enhancements in reporting and resources available for instructors
• overview of the new Instructor Toolkit

To ensure a tailored experience, we are offering two separate sessions

Hi,

Where i can find instructor courseware for CompTIA Sec+?

Looks like everybody is drinking the AI Kool-Aid these days. That includes our friends right here, at https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/pr...roduct-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains

Passed PT0 -002: 780 / 750 this morning

My Story after passing Security + 701 on 7th March 2024 with 780 / 750 score, I bought the Pentest + CompTIA Certmaster Learning, Labs, Practice Questions and Exam Voucher on 10th March 2024 and immediately, started Studying and gave my self a target to write exam today on 27th March 2024. I had to put more hours on the resources and am glad to inform that I managed to pass. These exams are not simple, they require more effort. I get inspiration from CIN's encouragements and Discussions.

Now I want to try CySA 003

how many of you manage complete Comptia Network+ 20 chapter and Certmaster Lab in 5 day Class ?

I recently passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam. Two days later I received a heads up email message from CompTIA that one of my certifications was 180 days from expiration. I submitted the email from AWS for CEUs via Certmetrics and was very, very pleasantly surprised to receive follow up email from CompTIA that the AWS certification was applied to both Cloud+ and Linux+.

I've always been a fan of CEUs but I have to give a big positive shout out to the Certmetrics team for the quick and thorough turn around.

About that AWS Solution Architect Associate exam; I studied for 3 months and failed my first attempt (by 20 points). Passed 10 days later. That was one tough exam.

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

I passed SY0 - 701 with 780 /750 this morning

My story:
Last year I initially had registered to go for SY0 601 and was studying material related to this, then this year come early February resorted to 701, going through the last year 701 TTT resources. I changed from 601 to 701 because of the discussions within this forum, for the need to be 701 certified to teach 701 students. used CERT MASTER Learning, and practice questions

I thank you all for the discussions and support including Peter Hanwith-horden (My SY0 601 trainer, etc)

This is My first Certification, apart from my academic qualifications like MSc in Computer Security and Forensics (Distinction)- UK, BSc IT, BA HRM, Dip. Accounting. and some experience (18 years in Handson IT including Lecturing at Universities, pentest, Networks, software development).

Now going to try Pentest +, your support will be appreciated

I really appreciate

Great exam overall. Passed the 401 in 2018. This will be my 2nd Trifecta. Passed A+ and Network+ in 2023
This is now a Course I can teach at my school using Testout In the future!

Super excited. Cysa+ 003 next up

Do you have a crazy story about a server closet? Can you think of a time someone rolled a 1 on proper software management? Come sit by me!

The CompTIA product development team is looking for your anecdotes, examples, and real-life stories. If you have a tale of working the help desk, or the weird thing you found while running cable, we want to hear about it. We plan to use these stories within CompTIA training courseware, supporting instructional concepts, illustrating ideas, and of course grabbing learner attention.

If you want to share your story (or stories!), please complete this waiver first (the waiver must be completed or I cannot use your story) and email me ([email protected]) or share below.

Some of the topics we're looking for are:

• When tech goes wrong -- situations of ignorance, when someone didn't understand what they were doing (could be an end user, could be a new professional)
• Not properly securing personal data -- what happens when people don't take care of their personal data, or give it out willingly
• Security tools in practice -- misuse of any cybersecurity tools (firewalls, NIDS/IPS, hardware, anything), trying to convey that the security tool isn't the only factor- a human has to properly use the tool
• Wildest networking stories -- what have you found while dropping cable, what have you had to fix, where is the weirdest place you've seen for a server closet?
• Networking specifications -- what happens when people don't pay attention to small wireless network specs? What can go wrong when you don't adhere to the network specifications?
• Software management -- what happens when someone downloads software from a suspicious source? Could be an end user, could be a professional
• Back it up -- perils of not backing up data, what has been lost? Personal stories (a college paper) and enterprise level are welcome

We will credit you either with your first name, last initial, and job role, or with "Anonymous, Job Role" as you prefer.

These stories will be used in one or more CompTIA training courses and may be edited for clarity and/or brevity.

Here is an example of a Shareable Project

Here is the link to sign up (as a student or a volunteer instructor / Section Leader):
https://codeinplace.stanford.edu

The course language is Python. The audience is global. The course is free.

As a student, if you're selected, your project will be hosted on a Stanford server:


As a Section Leader, if you're selected, you'll get a badge like this!

If anyone has any questions, let me know! I'll monitor this thread and answer what I can!

EDIT: Let me rephrase my post, instead of ranting like a jealous child.

Has anyone here received an invite for the current Cloud+ beta?

Login to view embedded media
I have missed out on multiple fun betas, because they didn't get publicly posted. Instead the invite was emailed to a limited group of people, whose demographics I don't know.

@Stephen Schneiter can you enlighten me? What is the process for inviting people into the betas?

There's a new job posting for an instructor to teach Networking and Cybersecurity at Four County Career Center in Archbold, OH.

Here's the website: https://www.fourcounty.net

Looking for remote work

I am thrilled to share that I have passed the CySA+ certification exam.
I am grateful to CIN for the voucher after the TTT series.

The CompTIA Product Development team is looking for feedback from the CIN community! They have asked if I could post the following request. Please take a few minutes and respond to their survey.

We've had requests from instructors to be able to do testing using a locked-down browser. If you have experience using locked-down browsers, please take a few minutes to answer this 4-question survey about your experience. Thank you!

RSA encryption is still part of the team roster, but it's getting on in age.
What's the up-and-coming successor to this once-upon-a-time
perennial all-star?

If you do provide a response to this query, some evidence to support
your input would be most appreciated. Opinions and feelings don't
qualify

Happy Women's History Month!!!

I am glad to report I passed CompTIA CySA+ today. I set a high bar for myself by taking the CySA+ rather than the Security+ and my score was just barely above passing, but a passing grade is a passing grade, right?

Alas, I never did get the two vouchers that were promised to me for attending the Security+ and CySA+ Train-the-Trainer sessions, but a co-worker of mine was able to get me a voucher through another contact they had at CompTIA. So if you're still waiting, maybe try another avenue or bug a colleague with good connections!
