• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

Whelp... It's been a few weeks and my support requests to CompTIA have fallen on deaf ears. No response from the support team and Stephen also didn't show up in this thread. I'm waiting to see if Luke can get me any further, via escalation. In the mean time, I'm falling back on using SSH+SOCKS to get around CloudFlare. It's kinda nuts that I have to, just to talk to you people.
I had the Problem 1-2 times in Nov. after my last Posting when Accessing comptia.org in General...
Stephen seems really busy..i wait for an answer also, but no luck so far...
We need to give him time.. Before this stress hits him...
 
I'll tell you this much: CompTIA's Cloudflare is still driving me crazy.

Earlier this week I was looking to download the Linux+ v8 objectives PDF and I simply could not find them anymore. Nowhere on the Linux+ certification page could I find a link to them. And I also didn't see the form which ask you for your email address, so you can request them.

It turns out that CompTIA's CDN still hates me. After debugging the certification page, I see a number of HTTP 429 error messages which also include the objects needed to load the form. HTTP 429 is the "too many requests" error, which is crazy because it's literally just me with my browser loading a page. I'm not DoS-ing anyone here.

My old Google dorking trick with `site:comptia.org filetype:pdf xk0-006 objectives` also didn't work because the file delivery platform has drastically changed (and the robots.txt might exclude it). Turns out that, if you know how to find this page, you can get all objectives without the email-form. -> https://www.comptia.org/en-em/partner-portal/partner-resources/
