I strongly advise you try to simulate some Wifi, AAA, ACL, port security, firewalls, HIDS, and especially root CA cryptography examples as much as you can to get a better idea of what actually goes on in real life. -

keyblader Member Posts: 12 ■□□□□□□□□□If you are beginner like me...I recommend starting with Gibson's-Get Ahead Get Certified and Website and adding Prowse's-401 Security+ Guide/DLC
(my main focus of study). Also make sure you just don't memorize but understand the underlying concepts related to the exam objectivies. Any other details can be found online s/a Prof Messer vids or around the Net. Also if you have little Networking knowledge I also recommend to have a Networking for Dummies Guide accessible as a reference Guide. -

Took the test just using that material and it seemed too easy. -
