Hi everyone.

I'm going to be submitting my video I'm doing over the weekend on Monday, and I see on the form in part A, that they ask for a CompTIA Member/Partner Number, which is a 6 digit number. I am not working for anyone right now, and I suspect that is for whomever your employer is. They would have a CompTIA member number? If I don't have one, does it mean I can't finish this process? If I need one, do you know if there's a way for me to quickly obtain one?

Thanks,

DL Ross

Hey, hey, hey you all! I, too, am sharing that I passed my A+ last week!!! On to studying for the Network+ next.

Question...I wanted to confirm something that I was told about the CompTIA exams. I was told that if you jump to the Network+ exam and pass it, you would basically have the A+ incorporated, or something like that? I'm looking for the best way to advise my students that have completed prep for both A+ and Network+. Of course, I will also speak with them to see what preference they each have, but I wanted to get some expert opinions. Should they jump right to Network+ and not worry about going back to take A+ also? I've heard Network+ is easier since it's more focused.

Thoughts??

And the answer can be found at s.comptia.org/3tcAmzh

I vaguely remember a mention that the name of CYSA+ was going to change to Security-X . Was I dreaming of is that actually going to happen?

Does anyone know of a web site where I can upload a QR code image and evaluate it for malware? I know Virustotal can accept files, URLs, or hashes, but I would like to be able to analyze a QR code for legitimacy.

Submitted on Oct. 30, so maybe i am one of the last few to submit it; but who know, how many did submit on the last day?.
Just got my result in the Mailbox.. and passed..
Not that i had needed it, but wanted to take the Chance.
The Recording was the hardest Part, with Students, Me, Presentation and Chat on one Screen.

My company has changed its name, and as a result my email address has changed. When I attempt to edit my email address by clicking the "Change" button under "Account Details", I get a message that says changes were saved, but am offered no opportunity to actually edit the address. I am somewhat concerned that I will no longer receive notifications surrounding TTT sessions or other correspondence once my company mothballs the old email domain.

I have attempted to ask a number of the different Sysadmins on here, to no avail. Hoping posting here will make it more likely my request will be seen by the right person.

Thanks in advance!


Also still anxiously awaiting my DataSys+ voucher, but that's a different conversation!

I'm going to make some statements, and I would like for you
to simply indicate whether you AGREE or DISAGREE. If you
AGREE, keep it movin'. If you DISAGREE, share with me why,
if you don't mind. If you neither AGREE or DISAGREE, you
can indicate that you have no opinion (or none of my business )

Okay, here we go:

- To define Identity and Access Management, depends on the organization and its
tools. One size does not fit all.

- Identity and Access Management encapsulates how companies control user accounts,
passwords, and access levels.

- Identity and Access Management is a framework (I loathe the term framework)
that comprises several elements, that manage computer system identities

- The four components of an Identity and Access Management system are:
1) User management
2) Authentication
3) Authorization
4) Identity governance

- One of the reasons businesses use Identity and Access Management is because it
offers fine-grained control over users and access.

- Authentication and Authorization - are a couple of key concepts shared by all
Identity and Access Management systems.

- Authentication - focus is on how users can log on to an account

- Authorization - focus is on controlling which resources users can access
Note: Users gain authorization based on their role in the organization or their group

- Identity governance is a crucial component of Identity and Access Management
Note: Identity governance defines how an organization manages user roles
and permissions. Identity governance ensures that users have the
correct access level, and provides methods to audit user access levels.

- Identity and Access Management provides a centralized method for user access
control

- Regulatory compliance is a benefit of an Identity and Access Management system

- Identity and Access Management systems keep records readily available for auditing

- An LDAP server provides centralized user and password management. Is an LDAP
server an Identity and Access Management system?

- An Active Directory server provides centralized user and password management. Is
an Active Directory server an Identity and Access Management system?


Okay, that's it. Let me know what you think (or what you know)! Please, no inflammatory
remarks or comments - I'm sensitive

Looks like CompTIA has posted the first draft of the CloudNetX objectives. :happydance: In case you missed the link in the TTT the other day, here's where you can get drafts of exam objectives:


So what do you think of CloudNetX? Personally, I'm excited about it! I'm also wondering if it's enough of a jump beyond Cloud+. Thoughts?

Hello, I know this training has begun. How can I jump in?

On lab 28 in the new Security+ 701 CertMaster Labs, when trying to log onto the Windows VM with Jaime I receive the error message:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

When logging in with Ethernet set to the default of vLAN_SERVERS.

If I switch to a different Ethernet selection, I can log in but don’t have any network connection and can’t do the lab. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

I just submitted a ticket. I was wondering if anybody had a way around the error?

Thanks!

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.


See what #comptia offers on the below link for IT Professionals

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 ?
