CySA+ TTT voucher

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.

Linux Malware

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...

Haven't Received Email Confirmation for Passing A+ Core 2

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.

Job opening for A+, Net+ & Sec+ trainer!

Access Computer Training is a growing post-secondary technical training school in Tampa Bay, FL. We have been providing these CompTIA courses since January of 2022 and have consistently been enrolling more and more students and are now in need of an additional trainer to help with added classes as well as bootcamps for local businesses/contractors to certify their employees and transitioning military. The position is a remote part time position at roughly 20 hours per week starting at $30/hr as a contract trainer. We can be flexible on the schedule and will work with you to accommodate your schedule. Looking for someone to hopefully move into a roll of full time employee as my director of IT training. This position comes with the need for an energetic person who is enthusiastic about transferring the knowledge to students who are completely new to the IT industry, in career changing situations and need a little extra hand holding. Access Computer Training takes pride in our approach to help each individual student with their learning needs. Mentorship is critical. We bring in subject matter experts who are working in the industry to talk to the students about their own career path and where they are today. Giving students a realistic outlook on their own potential as they embark on a new career journey. Study hard, work hard, and study some more to pass these exams and get the certs is critical especially when they come with no IT background but aspire to get into Networking or CyberSecurity. We strive for the success of each and every student and become their accountability partner through this endeavor. If you are passionate about teaching and have the ability to keep students on track and excited about the possibilities, please reach out. I'd love to chat with you. Thanks, Kristin

  • Question
Including Certification Testing in Curriculum

Hi there,

In our IT programs, we provide students with vouchers which cover the cost of whichever certification exams may be covered in that program. For example, in our beginning IT program, we provide the students with vouchers to take the A+ and Network+ exams, however, many of them never seem to get around to taking them, and of course, we are supposed to provide pass rates for the exams. I have heard of some schools and programs that basically embed the certification exams into the coursework.

Does anyone have an example of best practices on how to do this, and to get the students to actually take the exam.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sandis
