I always get asked this question in a Linux course (sometimes in others as well), and this site does a pretty good job of answering it. It covers many popular SaaS solutions as well. https://www.opensourcealternative.to/

We use MS Teams for class-related stuff because all staff and students have college-provided M365 accounts. So, we naturally use that for file sharing since each Team sets up file sharing via SharePoint, and it's unlimited. A nice bonus is that each student has a 1TB OneDrive, and can instead...

This is a tool that was recently released - I've been playing with it today and it's quite well done and fully-featured. As a result, it'd be a great addition to a Pentest+ (or Security+/CySA+/CASP+) course. https://github.com/D3Ext/WEF

It's amazing how some things in tech never change. UNIX/Linux were cool back in 1993, and they're still cool today:

This could be a fun extra to Network+ and/or Linux+/Server+/Cloud+ for sure! https://www.dns.toys/

You can install it with "dnf install cheat" (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS) or "apt install cheat" (Ubuntu/Debian) or "pacman -S cheat" (Arch) or "zypper install cheat" (SuSE): https://opensource.com/article/22/6/linux-cheat-command

Everything went smoothly for me too!

I also used this opportunity to update my 2017 blog post on "macOS for Linux admins": https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/macos-for-linux-admins/ There's a bit of humour hidden in there too ;-)

My first CompTIA cert was A+ in 1998. Back then, you had to know your IRQs for manually configuring devices like sound cards, and there were questions on ARCNET, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, SIMMs and MCA cards too :)

There are some great talks in there, including Jim Manico’s epic OWASP keynote: This is a great addition for any Security+/CySA+/Pentest+/CASP+ course.

This would make a good addition to the macOS topic within an A+ course (or if macOS is covered within your Linux course): https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/05/apple-introduces-new-professional-training-to-support-growing-it-workforce/

These steps worked for me after the second code failed - thanks!!

I have hundreds of tech shirts and socks - but I'd love a CompTIA hat :)

I also got access to the Data+ materials today - checked them out shortly after today's TTT and they're excellent (concise and well-written)!

Thanks! Just registered :)

I've never understood why in Canada and the UK there seems to be some weird push towards calling it Cyber Security (including at my own college). But I firmly told our Academic Services dept and exec management that the industry calls it Cybersecurity, so that is what it is and what we're going...

A while ago, I found an old Wiley Cybersecurity book from the early 90s and decided to see what has changed from then until now. I did up a short blog post on the similarities and differences here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/cybersecurity-in-the-90s/ I'm posting it here as it may make...

Yes, for the simple reason that preparing for one exam is less time-consuming. Students just need to focus on a single set of topics, which encourages them to write the exam sooner than later.

I've got my data ready!

I'm definitely looking forward to writing Data+ (I'm about 90% prepared for it already!)
