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.

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

If anyone has any questions, let me know! I'll monitor this thread and answer what I can!

I have probably asked this question many times. I am asking this question because the CTT+ certification is no longer available. And I would like to deliver official CompTIA courses officially with the CompTIA partner network. To deliver the classes, do I need this CTT+ Credential? @Stephen Schneiter Thanls a lot

Hi Everyone, one of our Customer Success Managers, @Jayne Gubler had a question posted to her and she is looking for CIN to provide some feedback. Here is what Jayne past along.

An instructor asked me: "What positive and negative feedback are students saying regarding either CertMaster Learn & Labs or the former LabSim learning platform?"

We're dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of our platforms and value your insights on what aspects are proving effective and where there might be room for improvement. Could you share the feedback you've gathered from your learners regarding their experiences with these platforms?

I recently passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam. Two days later I received a heads up email message from CompTIA that one of my certifications was 180 days from expiration. I submitted the email from AWS for CEUs via Certmetrics and was very, very pleasantly surprised to receive follow up email from CompTIA that the AWS certification was applied to both Cloud+ and Linux+.

I've always been a fan of CEUs but I have to give a big positive shout out to the Certmetrics team for the quick and thorough turn around.

About that AWS Solution Architect Associate exam; I studied for 3 months and failed my first attempt (by 20 points). Passed 10 days later. That was one tough exam.

Hi,

I am currently evaluating two products for student use in our blended learning program, which combines independent learning with face-to-face sessions.

I'd really like to get your opinions on which product you or your students prefer and why, or if both are suitable options.

Your insights and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Steve

Regards to the outline, the cabling concepts and tools are taken out from the latest N10- 009.

It is added in core 1 A+.

The old outline alot of people taking up bcos this cabling concepts, color code and tools used in network+. We do the hands on practical in class.

For network engineers whom starting career in networking they come straight to Comptia Network+ and will ask how to do crimping and use the network tester? They won't go to Comptia A+.

Cabling concepts and tools are very important subject in Network+. We will loose out students going for other certification which teach all this in class.
My +point in network+ is teach them how to do straight thru cable and cross cable . How to use punch down tools to put cable in. How to use fiber tester.

Pls advise what to answer them?

Hey fellow CIN'ers, I am looking for a full time instructor who can teach ITF+ and A+. This is an on-campus position teaching in a hybrid environment. Please see the attached file for more details. You can email me a resume at [email protected].

I passed SY0 - 701 with 780 /750 this morning

My story:
Last year I initially had registered to go for SY0 601 and was studying material related to this, then this year come early February resorted to 701, going through the last year 701 TTT resources. I changed from 601 to 701 because of the discussions within this forum, for the need to be 701 certified to teach 701 students. used CERT MASTER Learning, and practice questions

I thank you all for the discussions and support including Peter Hanwith-horden (My SY0 601 trainer, etc)

This is My first Certification, apart from my academic qualifications like MSc in Computer Security and Forensics (Distinction)- UK, BSc IT, BA HRM, Dip. Accounting. and some experience (18 years in Handson IT including Lecturing at Universities, pentest, Networks, software development).

Now going to try Pentest +, your support will be appreciated

I really appreciate

Hello,

does anyone the website where we as Instructors and Academic Partners have access to the Free Instructor Manuals for A+, Sec+, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

G'day All,

Wondering if anyone else experiences a lag on labs that use Linux VM's and if there was a fix.
I've noted this myself and several of my learners pointed out the same issue to me on my last course as it caused them a bit of frustration. The Windows VMs are fine but in the Linux VMs the mouse movement lags just enough to make things annoying. Not sure where the machines are hosted. -We are logging in from Australia which might be the issue (But why not for the windows machines?). Note that internet connections, speed, quality are all fine and tested from different locations with different networks. It's consistent and with the Linux VM's. Also I noted this on Sec+ labs and Network+ labs.

Thanks for any suggestions.

When is the next TTT series?

RSA encryption is still part of the team roster, but it's getting on in age.
What's the up-and-coming successor to this once-upon-a-time
perennial all-star?

If you do provide a response to this query, some evidence to support
your input would be most appreciated. Opinions and feelings don't
qualify

Happy Women's History Month!!!
