There's a blog article about the new DataSys+ certification. This one seems to be geared towards database administrators.

After Taking a nice break for a month from Exams it's nice to see I still have it. This marks my 15th CompTIA Certification over a 10-year Career.

CompTIA Data Systems + ?

Just wanted to share that there seems to be a problem with the lab re:
Assisted Lab: Managing Password Security

1. The instruction stated using the command "hyrda-wizard" when it should be "hydra-wizard"

2. In using the command, there's only 1 account that works with the password of "Pa$$w0rd"; only admin, not jaime
For that matter, the question in #11 need to be revisited.
Also, the step #12 need to be updated, as jaime username will not work with the said password; need to use admin.

Finally - Finally got this done - so now I just got to get it final-edited, finish up the writing for the submission and I can put this one to bed. It was a great session, "Cybersecurity Awareness for Medical Professionals", taught to our Medical Assisting students. It was supposed to be between 17-22 minutes, but, it went 50 minutes with all the interaction. Like, EVERYONE in the class was interacting, with each other, with me. It was darned magical...no lie there, folks. I miss that so much with what I do now. The students, really, were wide-eyed and mouths open. I like to think it was because of my instruction, but I think, really, it poignantly underscored the need for cybersecurity training in other industries.

Means that for all you cyber security trained aces out there....gotta get out there and preach it to the masses.

One of my students came up to me and told me that it meant far more than watching some pre-packaged training or a video to check the block for cyber compliance.

Big support vibes to:
@Hod Berman
@Esther S. Stepansky
@Rafael Caballero
and any other CIN'er that, like me, waited for the curtain drop to get this done. (Who dat be?)

I'll post my video on YT later, after I get my submission out the door.

Happy and blessed today...let's see if the reviewers are good with it too.

Need help and/or guidance on the lab re: Using SET to Perform Social Engineering.

I've done the first few tasks with ease but when it comes to "be an email phishing victim" section, I am unable to connect to the MS10 VM.


I was able to work around it by changing the interface into vLAN_CLIENTS or the INTERNET, but the next issue that I had is connecting to the mail server.



I've tried different interfaces. Tried to run "ipconfig /renew", but to no avail.

So, I reconnected back to vLAN_SERVER, got asked for a password, but the provided password doesn't work!.



So, I thought, maybe I can update the password of the user (Jaime) - nope. access denied.



Please help. Thanks!

anyone can help me get exam voucher for Pentest ?

Good Afternoon Cinners!

Hope you had an enjoyable weekend and are ready for a productive week. A colleague asked if CompTIA is moving toward Master level certifications. He advised that a colleague of his shared this information.

Is there any truth to this?

Lastly, where can I access documentation on the Security+ 701 outline and the CYSA+ CSO-003

Thanks.

So, there is a lot of talk about when the next TTT will be and when the certification launches. I want to work on getting product calendar posted in CIN Resources, however that will take some time. In the meantime, I wanted to post the upcoming launches and, therefore, the upcoming TTT series. Just remember these are approximate and depend on product development schedules, but this will give you a good idea of target launches.

Security+ SY0-701: Certification launches November 2023 (there will be a TTT series starting mid-October. More info coming soon!)
DataX DY0-001: Certification launches Q1 2024 (CIN Sneak Peek November 2023)
Network+ N10-009: Certification Launch Q2 2024 (CIN Sneak Peek late Q1 2024)

The following certifications will all be coming out the second half of 2024, so stay tuned for more information as it becomes available
CloudNetX
PenTest+
SecurityX

I hope this helps as far as an outlook of what to look forward to in 2024! It will be a busy year!! Be sure to check back to the community for more updates!

Dear Group,

Maybe I have missed the email or flyers, but do you all know when the next train the trainer class starts. I used to love those classes for updating and the information.

Thank You,

Passed with a 751, This is my 2nd time to take this exam since 2013 as an Instructor to keep current to Teach it.

I will say the PBQs are pretty hard. I skipped them unstill the end then spent the last 45 mins on them

Next up is Security+ 701! (Passed 401 in 2018)

Hello fellow "I-waited-to-the-very-last-minute-to-do-ctt" 'ers....

Today's the day - if you haven't already sent your submissions to be the last class of CTT+, get 'em in there, or forever hold your peace. LOL. I managed to get mine in last week - still waiting to hear back on how I did *fingers crossed*.

Meanwhile, to celebrate this event for folks, I offer Queen's quintessential hit, Under Pressure.

If you are part of the Last Chance club here, how did you do?

Good luck folks!

Good afternoon everyone. Are you aware of any preview material we have access to for the new Security+ training? Additionally, are you aware of any dates for TTT ? Prob when it drops in November...

Thanks

Ok, I've got one more issue with my virtual recording. I did a recording last night, and it went over. So I did another recording today, and it's over by 1 minute and 23 seconds. I was able to get to the end, and the only thing not showing up before the 22 minute mark would be the recap and the thank you. Should I re-record? I did the lecture, I did answer questions. I asked other people questions. I did a demo, and then I had people do the lab on a pause. When they returned, they showed me in a screen share what they did with the lab. Then I did a quiz poll in the zoom. Because a couple of people were a bit slow with sharing their screen, I ended up not being at 22 minutes. (sigh)

Thoughts?

Has anyone taken the Udemy TK0-201 CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer CTT+ Essentials Practice tests course:

https://www.udemy.com/course/tk0-20...cal-trainer-ctt-essentials/learn/quiz/4921819 ?

How useful was the practice course for the CTT+ Essentials exam?

I passed Part one of the CTT+ certification exam before the last day ended. I still have until the end of October to submit my recordings for TK-202 and TK-203.

The issue is can anyone provide me a link to download the latest forms? Seems as if all I've been able to find have been the old one for TK-202.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-Rafael

Hello, I am looking to teach a Security Plus course to my co-workers' boot camp style, where can I get the instructor's material?

Are you sharing your CompTIA–provided slideshow with students? These are the PowerPoint slides that most of us tweak for our presentations.

This would be for a Security+ class delivered via Zoom, with recordings available after the class. Your thoughts?
