Thanks everyone for your gracious feedback. I really enjoyed developing and delivering this update material to the CIN audience.

Sounds like Jason or someone at Dion Training listened to the Sneak Peek and the first couple of CIN Security+ SY0-701 TTT webinars.

Anything that says 'pass' is excellent.

Greetings Fellow Instructors! In advance of the upcoming Security+ TTT series I wanted to ask the Instructor Community for their ideas, thoughts, and opinions about some of the tools of our instructional trade. How do you 'break the ice' with the students in your classes? What do you do as...

I'm a big tweaker, so I always share a PDF version of any slides that I tweaked with my students. That's probably 20 out of the 21 SY0-601 CertMaster lessons. I don't share PPTs.

Those free Cisco Network Academy Linux courses are actually NDG Linux courses. Only the Linux Essentials course is free. They are great for learning about commands and use. I'd suggest you need to learn more to pass the Linux+ exam.

Agree with setting up a Linux machine but I'd suggest using VirtualBox, installing a Linux distro from scratch, and then downloading and running other distros from OSBoxes dot org. You need to know Ubuntu cold. Use it everyday. I also studied using ArchLinux and Kali. Update the OS. Install...

I think the idea of being able to compare the content, methods, and tools would be valuable but don't believe there is a voucher for the TestOut LabSim track. I agree we should probably develop a presentation comparing the tracks. Are you doing anything in December?

Great point Mark! My hope is that the comparison would demo that the learning content is the same. The student is expected to know how to use nmap with several different command options. I hope that the diff is only that in CertMaster Labs the student can go off script and experiment with...

I'll be leading the TTT where I'll be using the CertMaster table of contents and hopefully reviewing some of the CertMaster Labs. The 'CertMaster' TTT I'm developing will be for instructors using CertMaster or other instructional material in a commercial or non-academic setting. That's not to...

Which Security+ lab? Is this in CertMaster Labs? If so, which lab? Sounds like the student isn't sending the CTRL+C to the terminal window. Solution may be as simple as select window (move mouse over the terminal window and select - click before issuing the CTRL+C).

Something you might want to consider is a short 3-5 question true or false game focusing on age appropriate cyber awareness. Ask questions about using the Internet and sharing information like your name, your address, your birthday, etc,.. with people who you don't know. Work in the concept of...

I have it on good authority that the Security+ SY0-701 TTT will start on or around October 17th and end by no later than November 22nd.

The three programs that you cited are vastly different in their requirements to become a certified instructor. To the best of my knowledge none of the programs you cited recognizes teaching credentials achieved through a college or university program. I know for a fact that one of those...

A false positive or a false negative is a finding based on a single (for example authentication) event. A finding of false positive or false negative might be the product of investigating a specific event. I use the example of a doctor congratulating an older man telling him 'You're...

Yeah but... I hold active CASP+, CISM, and CISSP. IMO Maintaining (renewing) CASP+ and CISM are well defined as the organizations and programs set straightforward, achievable requirements. It's been my experience that (ISC)2 very tightly audits CEUs that don't come from 'approved' activities...

Fellow Instructors, In Security+ and again in CySA+ (and CASP+) students need to understand how the www works. I often use Virustotal dot com to briefly demo how to investigate suspect urls and files. I found another web based (free to use) tool that helps explain more. That's urlscan dot...

Each diamond in the graphic shows adversary activity along the top and victim activity along the bottom. Links from the right side of a diamond represent the use of a capability. Links from the left side of a diamond represent involvement of some infrastructure. In this graphic the diamonds...

I'll be the fellow wearing jorts!

Rick, Will you be wearing a hat and / or a tie?
