Can anyone show how dd can use MD5 when duplicating a hard drive

Good afternoon. I hope to use the Integrated CertMaster Learn and Labs for Project+ in my IT Project Management college course soon. I found TestOut last year and have integrated the LabSim courseware into a few of our IT courses. The students and faculty love it.

I am beginning my research into setting up CertMaster Learn and Labs and would appreciate any tips/tricks. At first glance, it doesn't appear as user-friendly or intuitive as TestOut LabSim.

Thanks, Chris

Anyone have anymore information regarding this new certification coming next year?

When using nmap without the -p option how many ports are scanned?

Hello everyone,
I am new here. I am Ayomide Oluwaga, Head Coach and CIO at Techstartersafrica and I successfully trained 100+ Cybersecurity professionals last year alone.

I will be training 30 students from the 29th and would be documenting the processes I use in making these individuals into professionals. I feel, this process might be useful for a fellow instructor in here. You can choose to follow me to see how I do it or constructively criticise it to make ot better. I would be updating daily on Linkedin & Instagram. (Just make a search for my name or click Ayomide Oluwaga)

I look forward to bringing value into the community

Hello everyone, everything good?

I have CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and in view of the growing number of certifications (as I intend to obtain more), I need to carry out planning to minimize costs and efforts for future renewals. For example, as soon as I took Security+, A+ and Network+ were automatically renewed. I also intend to obtain Linux+ and Cloud+ certifications, but I saw on the official page that the latter only has A+, Network+ and Linux+ certifications, leaving Security+ out. However, I also learned that non-CompTIA certifications can also be used to earn CE credits to renew equivalent CompTIA certifications (as I have AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Cisco CCNA and CyberOps).

In short, I intend to do the following:

• Renew A+, Linux+ (which I'm still going to take) and Network+, by submitting to the Cloud+ exam;
• Renew Security+, through Cisco CCNA CyberOps renewal (which I took almost 1 year after Security+).

If you can give me more tips and recommendations I would appreciate it! &;-D

• https://www.comptia.org/continuing-education/choose/renew-with-a-single-activity

In today's emails I received a bunch of them that were from CompTIA, each saying the same thing but identifying different certifications I hold:

Dear Steven Linthicum,

This is a friendly reminder that your CompTIA CySA+ ce certification will expire on Apr 21, 2026. While that is still a couple years away, it is important to think about how you might renew your certification so that you have ample time to prepare.

(ISC)2 has what they call "emeritus" status. I paid $375 and I keep the CISSP cert but you must be "retired".

Happy to share that I have successfully completed my SY0-701 exam to renew my other certifications until 2027.

Hi Everyone....I am being asked about a "boot camp" style delivery (5 days) with a test on the last day of class (Friday). It generates a couple of questions for me:

1. Does anyone have any experience with this type of delivery, and if so, what do you do differently than say a normal delivery?
2. Does anyone know the process of becoming a proctor for Pearson Vue to actually administer an exam event?
3. What is the success rate of your students on the first exam attempt?
4. Do the hours of classroom delivery change from a normal 8 hour day to longer, and if so, how much longer?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi everyone,

If I took and passed the AWS Solutions Architect Professional back in October 2023, can I use it to renew my Cloud+ certification if the Cloud+ is due to expire this summer? I can't figure out if I can use it to renew, or if I can only use a certification I passed from this year.

Thanks!

Changes are coming in 2024. I know I have talked a little about some of the upcoming updates to CompTIA Certifications, but let’s talk more details. First and very exciting news is that CompTIA’s Security+ SY0-601 was initially set to retire in July 2024, but CompTIA has delayed the retirement until December 2024. If you are studying for the SY0-601 exam, keep on it. This is great news for students, but don’t let it slow your studies, let it reinvigorate your studies. Refocus and set your schedule to get it completed, so you don’t have to change the objectives you are studying.

CompTIA's site still says July, but I doubt that Meyers is making this up. I just wish that CompTIA would add a confidentiality clause when they tell the big-time instructors news like this first until they can make these announcements themselves. Same thing happened a couple of years ago when Messer announced that they were pushing back the retirement date of A+ 1001/02.

Hi everyone,

I was accepted into the CompTIA Instructor Network sometime last year, and I'm probably going to jump to a new company, since my current company is running out of funding they received to train retired military. When I went to my profile, I see I can change some things, but not my email. I'd like to change to my personal email so that no matter what company where I work, I can always work with CIN and access things, ie. sign up for trainings, etc. I haven't been successful trying to figure out how to do this, so I thought I'd reach out here in the open forums to see if anyone was successful doing this. If so, how were you able to change your email address?

Thanks! DRoss

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.

I am so excited to inform everyone here that today i just passed CySA+ (CS0-003) exam with a score of 785/750. Thanks to @Stephen Schneiter and all Cinners here for your support.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
