I passed today.
The second attempt was easy. I scored 876. I anticipated 900+.
There were loads of questions on CA, Kerberos, None from RADIUS & TACACS. Some tricky questions on CIA Triad, atleast 6 very tricky questions regarding Encryption algorithams, Some tricky questions on SSH, Two questions on Backup. and I got lot of questions on Virus, Tools, ATTACKS (DoS), IDS & VPN 2 on NAT, Port Numbers.
I used the Microsoft Press Security+ Certification Training Kit . (There is a splendid exam in this kit... helps a lot for the real exam). I suggest you to go through every link that is mentioned in this book. Highly informative.. (The RFC's in here are good for reference) I felt this is the best book available at the moment.
I am looking at SECUR next.
Best of luck guys.
