Hello everyone,

When is the voucher expected to arrive?

Because @Stephen Schneiter didn't mention anything about the voucher's arrival during the sessions currently DataSys+.

The expected date for the voucher to arrive, and it has been a month since the end of CySA+ TTT series. I thought it was faster than before.

Hi Guys,

We have a client looking for a one off delivery for the CompTIA PenTest+ in Belfast, UK in December or January.

Travel and subsistence covered on top of delivery fees.

Any additional questions please let me know.

Have a great day,

Thanks
Alan

Hi all,

I am just wondering if anyone has any great ideas of what I might be able to do with elementary aged kids at an community event. I am looking for a quick 5-7 minute activity that the kids can do and learn a bit about cyber security. Previously I have had them make a cipher wheel and learn how to use it. I like the ability for them to take something physical home too. I am trying to also go low tech as it is an outdoor event and rather not have to deal with power or weather.

thanks.

Eagerly waiting to receive the voucher.

Does completing the Train the Trainer for the new version of a Certification cover Continuing Education requirements? I have a CISSP but the Comptia continuing education seems much more difficult to understand how to meet requirements. I am a full time IT Professional and I also teach college classes Comptia Security +, Palo Alto EDU 210, and coming soon Cisco Cyber Ops.

Hi Everyone-

IESEG School of Management will be starting a Masters in Cybersecurity Management in Sept 2024. While the courses aren't cert prep per se, they are aligned with certification and we expect the students to earn two certs. Therefore, I will probably be needing some certified instructors for a few courses (e.g., Pen Testing).

So, if you might be interested in teaching for us (in English) in Lille, France, please touch base with me at EMEACon or send me your CV at [email protected]. As we are AACSB accredited, our instructors must meet AQ requirements (PhD active in research or Masters and active practitioner). For vacataire/adjunct positions, we would probably be most interested in folks from the BeNeLux and possibly UK&I community (i.e., commuting distance). For visiting positions (intensive - 16h over 4 days), other regions could work.

Hoping to meet some of you at EMEACon.

Hello Cinners,

Quick question about the this lab. A student is using a Mac and on question 9 on the third page,
"Switch to the Terminal window and then select Ctrl+C to stop the tcpdump capture" She tries to perform this on her mac and gets continuous C's acrorss the screen.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advancce.

Hi everyone,

I currently teach a full-year (182 school days, 40 minutes per day) class in Cybersecurity at my high school. The students are doing a course for college credit from a university. The course as it exists currently is therefore not aligned with Security+, but we're hoping to have some students who want to go for the certification do so.

There is of course some intersection, my university-level course does cover malware, threat assessment, security policies, I do some linux, etc. but I have concerns for how the students will do. I can have them practice material from CompTIA but I know I'll be very pressed for time if I'm covering the college-credit course essentials and also focusing on Security+.

Does anyone have specific experience along these lines? High schoolers going for Security+ and in a course that doesn't 100% focus on that exam specifically?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, is here anyone from Czech Republic or czech speaking trainer?

Good Morning,

I am updating my LinkedIn Profile and wondered if there were a place to download the CIN Logo and also the 'Partner' Programme Logos ... ?

I can find all the certification logos but just can not find these ones.

Many Thanks

Are there any CompTIA-certified instructors in the Atlanta area here?

Should students take both? which comes first?

Hello All I'm not entirely sure if this is really the right platform to ask this question, but I figured most of us on here are Instructors and have a need to purchase vouchers for exams. Working for Government or Non-Profits creates minor headaches when it comes to acquiring products or services for the first time. You need x number of quote (unless sole provider) and must accept tax exemption etc.
That all said, I recently mounted all my CompTIA Certs on my office wall, which has inspired a bunch of my team to pursue certifications of their own. I can assist with tutoring them but I need to look at purchasing the vouchers etc.
Are there specific vendors that cater for vouchers or do they all come direct from CompTIA?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

When is the new Security + CertMaster going to be released? My Cert expires next April, and I need CEUs. Any ideas on obtaining CEUs quickly

The long await of the next version of Security+ is almost over! The new version of CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 will launch in November. Join the CompTIA Instructor Network and special guest Brian Ford as he takes a Sneak Peek into the updated exam and dives in to review the exam objectives. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

CompTIA Security+ is the first cybersecurity certification a candidate should earn. It establishes the core knowledge required in the field and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Security+ incorporates best practices in hands-on troubleshooting, ensuring you have the practical security problem-solving skills.

What: two-hour webinar investigating the updated Security+ certification
When: Tuesday, September 19, 10:00 AM CST
Where: ON24

From the TTT, I learned this cool mnemonic "I Eat Three Eggs In Virginia Daily"

1. Identify the problem
2. Establish a theory
3. Test the theory
4. Establish plan of action
5. Implement the solution
6. Verify full system functionality
7. Document the findings

Thanks to LarryG for sharing!
I'll probably change Virginia to Victoria, for my end. haha!

What other mnemonics do you use in your class?

Everyone,

Hi. I passed A+ Core 2 on July 18. However, I have not yet received the email confirmation of this. From the email, you can accept your digital badge and have your certification posted on LinkedIn. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this confirmation? It does show that I passed on my CompTIA profile. Thank you.

Efrem Sharp

anyone could help me or forward me to correct person.

Hi All

Anyone else experiencing problems when watching the recorded CIN TTT Series - DataSys+ DS0-001 - Session 6 on on24?

The session plays till half way and then the content disappears displaying this message "Content not available or is still being processed"

I downloaded a malware binary for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, but it didn't work. Googled for 2 hours and found out that instead of /usr/local/bin, the malware unpacked to /usr/bin, for which it doesn't have any write permissions. I found a patched .configure and .make file on some Chinese forum, recompiled and re-ran it, but the malware said it needed the cmalw-lib2.0 library, which ships with CentOS but not Ubuntu. Googled for hours again and found an instruction to build a .deb package from source and installed it. The malware finally started, wrote some logs, wrote a core dump, and crashed. After 1 hour of going through the logs I discovered the malware assumed an underlying ext4 filesystem and tried to call its disk encryption API (which is deprecated under the btrfs filesystem I use) - the kernel noticed and made the partition read-only to the process. So I got fed up, opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin wallet and sent $5 out of pity.

And this is the typical Linux malware experience.
Pretty scary if you ask me...
