GCIA Test Sheets

Hello,

My employer recently signed me up for the GCIA SEC503 ondemand class. I have 10 years IT experience and just 4 months ago I jumped over to doing firewall and cyber security work, so I am rather new to the field.

Obviously I am rather nervous and noobish with this process. I am currently waiting for the books to arrive before I start ondemand. In the meantime, I have been reading online for advice since this is my first SANS class and being surprised that it is open book. I found a blog post on portunreachable with some tips.

He advised to print **** sheets and packet headers. I found a few on PacketLife, but could not find any decent sheets for SiLK, Bro, Snort or Suricata. Does anyone have a decent sheet for these? Should I just make my own?

Thanks!

    Make your own--you'll learn stuff in the process.

    Definitely don't use someone else's, make your own. Not only will you learn things better, but you won't be opening weird, strange files from weird, suspect places.

    SANS 503 is a tough course, especially for your first SANS course, I don't envy you.
    Still searching for the corner in a round room.

    They have 10 years of experience so probably be ok.  I did 503 as my first and I actually think it should be one of your first classes.  If you can truly get networking down it lays a strong foundation for many other classes.
