Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue while watching some on-demand courses. After about 1 or 2 minutes, the video ends and redirects me to a page stating that the event has already ended. However, when I paste the link again, it continues from where the video stopped.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

Thanks!

Hello All,

I am new to Comptia network but I am an authorized trainer for some renowned vender already & I have great experience in providing training since 2008 till now. I have recently completed virtual TTT series for the course of Pentest+ and I need association to teach somewhere as well to get some comptia related resources and benefits. I am open to train virtually for Cybersecurity, Network Security, Network & linux (specially CCNA, Cybersecurity Associate, CCNP) trainings if my previous experienced considered or at least would love to get certified in the same areas with comptia but to start I need firstly an acade,y for association. How can I get help or recommendations on that.

Thanks in advance to all gems and experts here.

Does anyone know when the CompTIA CloudNetX Certification Beta Exam results are coming out?

It’s getting exciting with the new releases of certifications. Can’t wait for the TTT

I got access to a course that was released last year "a+ cyber" that looks like a great review of material for refreshing students and supporting Security+, CYSA and PenTest+. It even has a unit devoted to scripting. I like what I see but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with the course and how it worked out for you.

Regarding this section:

In the terminal, run arp -a and compare the output to the topology diagram.

Which of the IP addresses in the cache are router interfaces?
10.11.2.1
10.11.2.2
10.11.2.5
10.11.2.100
10.11.2.103
10.11.2.255

How do you respond to this question? I've checked the diagram and I can't find the logic... I don't have any clues on how to respond.

Stanford Code In Place is once again accepting applications to teach the first half of CS106A as a volunteer Section Leader!

CS106A is one of the most popular courses at Stanford University, taken by almost 1,600 students every year. It has been developed over the last 30 years by an amazing team, including Nick Parlante, Eric Roberts and more. The course teaches the fundamentals of computer programming using the widely-used Python programming language. This course is for everyone from humanists, social scientists, to hardcore engineers.

What makes Code in Place special? We recruit and train one volunteer teacher for every 10 students in order to create a vibrant community of teaching and learning. We believe that the magnitude of people who want to teach computer science is large and may be roughly proportional to the magnitude of people who want to learn. Why? Teaching is joyful and teaching is the best way to learn both content and team leading skills. We do hope this course inspires more human-centered learning for all.

Who Can Teach?
Code in Place Section Leaders come from a wide range of backgrounds. We have had:

Retired teachers
- Programmers in industry
- University students studying computer science
- and even past Code in Place students who have continued their learning

We have learned that folks from all contexts can be exceptional educators. The prerequisite is that you know the first half of CS106A (Python up through lists and dictionaries). If you are accepted we will train you on the art of computer science education. You need to have at least 2 hours each week over the

And yes, you get a badge: https://digitalcredential.stanford....uYUNCb2lOWHZRT0cwbGJSTG5xVjZPUE1vM2NlVEV4eTZX

There are some serious security and privacy questions about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk, an un-elected, private citizen and richest man in the world, has been designated as a "special government employee," however it is unclear if he has been properly vetted for top secret security clearance. DOGE has been granted access to databases at the US Treasury, the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Services, among others. Most of the DOGE staffers are not veteran auditors but are instead programmers and hackers in their late teens and early 20s, working directly for Elon Musk.

As technical trainers, we teach our students about the importance of governance, risk, and compliance with regulations and standards. How do we address the serious security and privacy questions surrounding Elon Musk and DOGE?

Lab 6.1.8: View Open Ports
When you run Zenmap you get the results that the support computer has port 5900 closed (In red). Means nothing is listening on that port, but that is the computer they want you to remove VNC from, which VNC is installed on that computer. Can anyone give me information as to why this lab is not showing Green with an open port???

cant wait to have the CompTIA AI Essentials TTT

Hello,
Has anyone experienced an issue with the Labs after completing them, where they can access them no more?
They are not yet expired but also not available on the portal

I didn't see a forum for this cert yet, so posting here instead.

CompTIA has posted pre-draft objectives for a new cert: CompTIA SecAI+. Anyone seen these yet? Thoughts? I'm definitely interested and looking forward to this one.

I need help in keeping my CompTIA certifications active. They have been active for a while now. I know I must renew them before three years to keep them valid.

I believe the only way to keep them active is to pass CySA+ or Pentest+, according to the CompTIA website. Is that correct, or is there another way to renew my certifications? I have been doing a lot of research lately on this but still not having satisfactory answers.

I need the right procedure to get this done.

Is it possible to create a lab, with a few routers, switches and hosts?
Some real elementary cisco cli stuff.

Packet tracer is good, but the 2 hour intro course is a little high entry, when students are already doing course work.

Hiya!

CompTIA used to have a directory on their site, where one could lookup authorized (delivery) partners. I was on that list.

I can't seem to find the list anymore. Some cached pages on Google still have hints that the list used to be there, but I just really, really can't find it anymore.

I've already pinged Luke to ask him what's up, but maybe someone else knows? Where did the list go?!

If you want to get some responses to your solicitations for trainers, please remember to do the following:

1. Be specific in what you're looking for. Is the assignment contract work, part-time, or full-time? Do you require that the trainer be certified in the latest version, or just have an active certification that is maintained through CEUs? Do you require a degree? Does the assignment require TS/SCI clearance? Is the assignment onsite or virtual? Do you want local trainers, or will you accept distant or even overseas trainers? In which time zone will the training take place? In what language will the training be conducted?

2. Post a pay range for your budget. It saves you time and it saves the trainers time. If you have a limited budget, there may be trainers who will bid on the job. But more experienced trainers with high demand won't get tied up for an assignment that ultimately they won't accept.

3. Respond in a timely manner. If you post on this site, but take a week to respond to questions or comments, don't be surprised if you see little interest in the assignment.

What is all this talk about OT? Why should my IT students learn about OT? Information Technology professionals are increasingly asked to understand the relatively foreign world of critical infrastructure and Operational Technology (OT).

Join CompTIA's Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, to learn more about how our critical infrastructure works. James will avoid abstract discussions of acronyms such as SCADA, PLC, and Modbus. Instead, he'll discuss case studies from critical infrastructure professionals he has met worldwide. Do you ever wish you had a few stories to explain how critical infrastructure works? Looking to get past the typical cliches and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) about OT cybersecurity?

I'm having some difficulty on delivering the course for the new Comptia Network + certification in a week. The training materials contains a Course Paging Guide for a 5 day course but the total estimated instructional time there is 5942 minutes which means aproximately 99 hours, too much for a week.

Do you have any materials with recommendations about the recommended timing for the course so I can deliver the knowledge in a week (8 hours per day)? For example, the old course had a document called Presentation Planner for Network+ which you could have used for schedulling the time.

My cybersecurity journey has been a fascinating evolution, spanning over two decades of continuous learning and professional growth. Back in 2003, I first obtained my CompTIA Security+ certification, which was a significant milestone in my career. Recently, I revisited this foundational certification by successfully passing the latest Security+ (SY0-701) exam, demonstrating the importance of staying current in our rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape.

I will complete Pen+, CySA+ and CASP this year. I wrote an ARP Poisonging detection tool in Python and was going to share it, but when testing there were a few errors so I will test it further.

I cannot find the Tech + TTT (or even the ITF TTT) on the CIN website anymore. I know it used to be there, I just can't find it.

Good Day Everyone!

Is there a master solution set for the Live Labs for the DataX class? For example, a ZIP file that contains working examples of all of the Jupyter Notebooks?

Any other insights are appreciated!

Thank you,
Ben
