    sorry to hear that. You better get your butt in gear before I pass you. :p

    I wanted to have the S+ by now, but moving will take my local commute from 50 minutes to about 15. That is good.

    Nice updates homie. At this point, I'm sure you'll destroy the Sec+.

    I just started last sunday. I'm shooting for the second week of August. I'm about 1/4 through Darril's book and I've watched the first couple videos of Trainsignal already.
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    So if everything goes as planned, me and you should be taking the test around the same time.

    That wasn't very nice lol

    I'm sure you'll do fine (just hopefully not better to me). IF I don't get at least a 950 I am not gonna post my score.

    I am ordering this book tonight (got the ok from the boss)
    Amazon.com: Network Security Bible (9780470502495): Eric Cole: Books

    This book shipped today. I should have it tomorrow. I might start reading this that night or this weekend. I really need to get in network warrior but I just haven't had time icon_sad.gif Hopefully when the move is done, I will have plenty of time. Since I won't have Internet icon_rolleyes.gif I should have plenty.

    If you get a 950+, I'll give you $10 million. If you get less, you owe me $20. Deal?

    I'm hoping my 291 luck rubs off on this one icon_lol.gif

    My guess is it'll be somewhere around 850+.

    The top score you can make is a 900icon_rolleyes.gif
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I'm thinking 293 in early September, 294 in early October, and 298/299 in late November or early December for MCSE:S

    Good deal. I have about 3 more to do (LPIC-1, S+). I might tack something else on depending on when I can get the LPIC-1 done.

    Which is why I made my offer. I think most CompTIA exams have a top score of 900.

    Network Security Bible is here!!!!!

    I am going to crack this bad boy open tonight and start re-reviewing for the S+/SSCP whatever.

    On another note, I will be installing AlienVault in a VM today on my brand new ESX server at work and I finally got Cisco VPN working on Fedora. Good times.

    Hello dude,

    You need to be at 100% before you take test. Your book is not enough, if you don't currently work in the field. Take a class.

    Can someone send me a comptia security + voucher number to used that has not expired.

    I'm trying to retake in 2 to 3 weeks. My info is below thanks and god bless on all your certs and support.

    Nice first post icon_rolleyes.gif

    Ok first, I do work in the field (as a Security Admin) and I am somewhat certified. Second there is no chance in hell I am taking a class for this exam. Third If you had read this forum you would see that a lot of people have said this is book is enough. Forth No one is going to send you a damn voucher number, buy one at getcertifiedforless.com.


    Fifth Welcome to the forum icon_cheers.gif

    I started reading Network Security Bible today (literally 2 hours ago). I am going to finish at least the first 3-4 chapters tonight. So far it has been pretty much a review from Darrils book. Hopefully it picks up in the next few chapters.

    Well I finished chapter 3 as well as part 1 of the book. So far it has mostly been review. I think part 3 is going to be where the book gets to the good stuff so I have a few chapters tonight. I actually have to go to my other job tonight so I am not going to get to read when I go home. I will pick it up later tonight.
