GCIH Passed

nelson8403nelson8403 Member Posts: 220 ■■■□□□□□□□
I just passed my GCIH, I took the course in Chicago last month with Jon Ham. Course was pretty good, a lot was a refresher, I put together my index about a month ago and unfortunate didn't have much time to look over it until today. I got finished in about an hour and a half and scored an 87% (just missed the 90%) and I felt it was pretty straight forward, not much was missing from the books/**** sheets

What I brought

Index (3 pages long, about 95 entries)
504 Books
Windows and Linux Incident Response **** Sheets
TCP/IP Packet information
Bachelor of Science, IT Security
Master of Science, Information Security and Assurance

CCIE Security Progress: Written Pass (06/2016), 1st Lab Attempt (11/2016)

    Congrats!
    The 504 books are part of the course? Is there a way to acquire them without a course participation?

    Refresher from your previous certs or degrees or work experience? Where did you learn/practice the course material? or do you do Incident Response as part of your job? :)
    Certs: GSTRT, GPEN, GCFA, CISM, CRISC, RHCE

    Refresher from work experience / previous certs definitely. I also took the 504 class so that was a big help, most of the terms and tools were not new however some were new to me.

    I do Incident Response as part of my job, I work in Security Operations so I do a little of everything!

    Matai - the ones on the sans website https://www.sans.org/security-resources/tcpip.pdf http://pen-testing.sans.org/retrieve/windows-****-sheet.pdf http://pen-testing.sans.org/retrieve/linux-****-sheet.pdf

    Yes I used the 504 books from the course, I got them through the course, however I know of people who sell them (check ebay) or you can also use the thread here on alternate books, there is no proprietary information in the books it's just a collection of data from many books.


    Future plans would be to try and do the pen testing graduate certificate I think.. I don't want to do the Masters (too expensive and I already have one) so I'd like to try to get their grad certificate which would be 560, 660 and 542

    Were the Windows and Linux Incident Response **** Sheets provided in the course, or is that something you made or found elsewhere? Where they useful?
