trojin

Passed - 3th CompTia beta in row. They making little money with me

[edit]
just check score - 753

BlackBeret

Pass, 792. I still say that it was extremely broad, no one is going to have the in-depth technical knowledge in every facet of pentesting from mobile to wireless to web, but I'll take the pass. Also, it didn't apply CEU's to my Sec+. I was hoping that would count.

Passed! Just got notified to check Certmetrics.

EDIT:

BTW, just realized I got a new stackable cert - CompTIA Network Vulnerability Assessment Professional - CNVP.

NEODREAM

Just saw the email and checked. Passed! Woot woot.

jamshid666

I failed with a 730, so damn close. I don't feel bad as I've never done any PenTesting before. Can't wait to see what I score with some real studying.

Even better - there is CompTIA Secure Infrastructure Expert - CSIE

airzero

woot woot I passed. Actually slightly surprised, I felt I didn't do very well with this exam.

Congrats to all those who passed!

Saw that you are GXPN certified so IMHO, the chances of you failing falls between slim to very slim...

Interesting that it renews the date for the Security+ and below, but not for the CySA+.

Yeah, I'm missing CySA+ for that one.

CySA is same certification level and different stream (blue vs red)

aliasilyas

Fail 730/750 CySA was much easier for me...

FluffyBunny

Passed with an 820. That really was a different outcome from what I'd expected!

I went into the exam just for fun and put in about 24 hours of preparation, spread across 1.5 months. The exam went alright, though I expected to fail. Anywho, it was fun! Now I'm looking forward to the Linux+ beta this winter, after taking the CFR-310 beta two weeks ago.

Exam betas: my new hobby

EnderWiggin

Passed with an 802. Not that great of a score, but oh well...

Mike7

Passed with 804. Also just took it for fun and did very little to no reading.

shochan

21 - Passes
12 - Fails

I wonder if they actually had 400 ppl take this beta

jamsub

Cut 711/750. Didn't study and I'm pretty sure I never touched BurpSuite before except installing it.

Will retake after the book comes out so I have something to focus my work on.

Thought I'd better throw in since this forum has been a consistently reliable source of information. Passed with a 770, just looked over the objectives.

Result renewed network+ and security+. I think given the relative integrity of members here that you'll hear more from those that didn't quite make it this time than anywhere else online. That will probably still be lower proportionally to those that passed as few people like to publicly admit a stumble until they've addressed it.

Thanks for the info. If I had to make any recommendations going forward - build a VM lab and try every tool on the objectives. We were told what would be in the exam so it made sense to get the best hands on if we weren't familiar. Plenty of '**** sheets' for the larger tools, like nmap but that should be a given since it is everyone's go to tool before netcat. Same goes for sockets in Python. Georgina's protesting book is a good study tool.

Also read the CySA study guide as the frameworks crossover, in terms of understanding policy, standards, procedures and guidelines.

Not an exam you can cram for without hands on experience to internalize the processes. Definitely looking forward to 8570 putting CEH out of the picture.

I passed with a 775/750. I have no pentesting background and probably did badly on tools, but my programming experience and knowing that a vuln looks like in code must've pulled me through. I'm also sure they must have disqualified a few of the exam items I saw from the scoring.
