Passed, just like Sabbot!
Hello!, Well, I did it! I'm very excited that I was able to pass this test. Thinking back on the whole experience, I don't know how I would have handled the notion of dedicating this much time to learning about the requisite topics, but now that it's all over, I'm much the better for it. Last night was horrible, I didn't…

Passed - 850/900
Anything above a 750 is all fluff, right. This cert is a requirement for a contract that I'm on; therefore, my company sent me to New Horizon for Security+ training, $1400. They can afford it, they want to be a billion dollar company. The training was a kick in the rump that's about all. I purchased Sybex Deluxe book to…

Passed 852/900
The test was a little easier than I thought it'd be. I'm sure I missed a couple easy ones, been up for 16 hrs straight before I took it :p I used the sybex 3 pack from amazon.com mostly, as well as the practice tests from here and the disk that came with the book. Next up is Vmware VCP!

Subnetting info on Sec+.?
I have taken a few practice exams recently..mostly online, but a couple through a local training center. There was one at the training center that had more than a couple of questions related to subnetting..? That seemed weird as I have not seen that in any other practice test at all. It is not even listed as one of the…

SY0-101 vs SY0-201
Hello everyone!! I just found this forum and it seems pretty cool. I took the 2007 version of the Security+ exam about a month or two ago. I didn't pass and got 734 out of 900. I was close but wasn't able to pass. I have been a bit discouraged and lazy and I am now studying up to retake the exam. I have the Sybex book for…

Passed with 795
I used the Sybex book for SYO-201 and also had about 600 study questions from my friends at work that took the course. I thought I would have done better than I did, I felt like I knew the material well but in the exam there were 10 questions I did not recognize. It did feel easier than 70-291 "the Beast"

Dial-up Confusion
Here's a quote from proprofs.com page on remote access : Now, what does the term "dial-up networking" refer to? I'm confused as to where PPP is being used. I have seen in other places that dial-up refers to the use of modems, but that doesn't totally clear up the issue, as I have a DSL modem, so might that use PPP as well?

Any one else notice on page 21, that it recommends using T***King as a practice test (Transender, Preplogic etc are mentioned as well, but T***King is at the top of the list).

KEYS- SMIME/PGP and digital signatures
Hello everybody! Please consider this statement: When using SMIME, the symmetric key is encrypted with the recipient's public key, but when using a digital signature, it's encrypted with the sender's private key.

TACACS+ and RADIUS: When Used?
A lot of the materials I've been using to train for the exam really gloss over TACACS+ and RADIUS. So what I'm wondering is, when exactly do these protocols come into play? Is it like when I'm dialing into my ISP through my modem or what? Can I sniff this traffic easily with Wireshark? -Matt

I recently passed the SY0-201, if it can help, the study material I used was Sybex's Sec+ Deluxe Study Guide & practice exams @ Transcender.
