We are going to begin training students for A+ cert and am wondering what types of hardware you use during the training. I'm talking the hands-on stuff not just simulations. Does anyone have a list of "nice to haves" they use for training? PC's, Laptops, switches, etc...

Are there any specific OS requirements also such as Windows or Linux servers to play with that anyone uses. I'd like to set up a nice lab that students can actually perform the required work.

Thanks for any input or suggestions you have.

I am looking for some ideas for scenarios that I can give my students for Lesson 4 "Managing an OS" to test their understanding about it. Any suggestions?

It's been a month now after talking to Stephen.?
And there is no response from @Stephen Schneiter Stephen, He indicated that he will review and respond to the email.
So for those who send an email and address them about the discount voucher.
I see that there has been a lot of delay and confusion since the beginning A+ TTT series.
Also, there is no definitive response regarding the legality of obtaining the future
While I received a voucher of previous TTT Pentest+,CASP+,Data+.

All,
I am teaching CYBER JROTC Year 1 curriculum focused on the A+. The curriculum just consists of PPT and no other associated material. Would anyone know of a free or opensource book or that would be easily printable i could get ahold of. I want to provide another form of learning for my cadets without breaking the bank. Thanks.

The Combination of Rick and Stephen in the CIN Sneak Peek Project+ PK0-005 was Just awesome. May we give them 50 likes.

Hi All / Stephen,

Did any UK guys get a PenTest+ v2 voucher?

I had an email saying PT0-002 voucher, but my email contents was actually the instructor guide resources key, so no exam voucher.

Only spotted it today when I thought I'd better get it booked

We are an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status, or any additional ground protected by law.

In keeping with @Trevor Chandler 's idea, I think it will be fun to start tossing out questions. Maybe it's something we all can do to keep sharp.

1. Your CEO is concerned about security leaks in the organization. So, she shares three versions of info about a product release, one to the head of marketing, one to the head of finance, and one to the head of business development. Each department head is given specific instructions to not disclose the information to anyone else. Two weeks later, she is told that information about that the story released to the finance director ended up on LinkedIn. She now knows the leak is with her finance lead.

What kind of technique did she employ?

2. You are concerned about rainbow tables, employed against your passwords. So, you require salting to be employed, however, you wish to keep the salt values secret. What is this called?

3. Diffie-Hellman (and Elliptic Curve) was created in the 70's to overcome what cryptographic problem? From what ancient mathematic crypto concept is this derived?

No multiple guesses. You gotta figure 'em out. And of course, Googlers only get 10% credit.

Registration is open.

I had a very negative one.

Thanks....

Good day everyone!

I'm anxiously looking for a solid, good book to prepare my students for XK0-005.

The previous three years, I taught XK0-004 using my own curriculum and adding to it with Bresnahan and Blum's book from Sybex / Wiley.

We've pre-ordered the 005 version of the same book, but I also bought the ebook version. The print version isn't out yet and I need something to prep my classes with, right?

Well, reading through the B&H 005 book from Sybex, I'm really not impressed. The 004 version was halfway decent, but the 005 version seems like a lazy update.

* The book left in a few topics which were removed from 004 -> 005.
* The book does not go deep enough by far into topics like Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Terraform et al. Ditto for PKI and so on.

I've already taken and passed the 005 exam and I know how thoroughly some of those topics were covered. The book does not do it justice at all. For example, the only two mentions of "podman" are literally from output of the "docker" command, aliased as "podman".

So. Bottom line: who can recommend me a better book for XK0-005? Preferably one that'll come out soon, so we can cancel this pre-order and switch in time.

Q. You need to modify the PATH element in the /etc/profile file. Which of the following options is the BEST choice to do so?

A. vi /etc/profile

B. cat /etc/profile

C. grep ‘PATH’ /etc/profile

D. head -n 25 /etc/profile


No Googling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q. A security professional needs to identify a physical security control that will identify individuals before allowing them to enter a secure area. Additionally, it should only allow a single person to enter at a time. Which of the following is the BEST solution?

A. Tailgating
B. Smart cards
C. Biometrics
D. Mantrap


No Googling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone here ever do this?

I'm talking, of course, about Harvester HCI - an open-source packaged, production ready Hyperconverged Infrastructure, designed to leverage simple bare-metal boxes and create clusters. Runs on SUSE Linux.

So, I took a few HP EliteDesk Micros, (Sixth Gen Core i5, 16GB, 340GB SDD) and constructed one. Super simple to get going. The plan is to take about 18 of these and build a functioning HCI that we can then leverage to do actual 'cloud-y' things (VM's, demonstrate scaled computing, etc). We'll see how it goes but I wanted to share this and see how many of you all have used this.

Does anyone know if Certification Magazine has shut down? Their last article is dated June 24th and my emails to [email protected] have gone unanswered.

What are the recommended total training hours via instructor-led for A+ 220/1101 and 220/1102?

If you know the same for Network+, that would be great as well
