Hello All

I really love this site, everyone has been so helpful. I read Darrill's Book just about 3 times.I have been studying for this exam on and off since Feb. I really feel as though, I am ready for the exam and that I have a good understanding of what is required to pass the exam. However, I do lack confidence in myself, I have been in Security since 2006. I just moved into a junior level position and I really want to take and pass this exam. Although, I am a horrible test taker.

I am going to take advantage of the $150.00 test voucher.

Can someone tell me where I can purchase helpful practice questions?

    Transcender always have good questions.
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    ok Thanks.

    I was reading through Darrill's book and I was confused about Collisions (Hashing) and Preimage Attacks. What is the difference? They both appear to do the same thing.

    ok Thanks.

    I think it is all the intention. If I have 2 files that just happen to have the same hash, its a collision. But if I have a single file, and I am attempting to create a second file with the same hash, that is a preimage attack.

    So a collision is the result, and a preimage attack is attempting to find/create a collision.
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    Welcome to the forums!
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    Don't buy transcender. They are way over priced for the the exact same thing from selft test software: Kaplan SelfTest CompTIA SY0-201 Training Products - Practice tests and Online Courses - SY0-201

    I would know I bought both before taking the sec+ 2008 and the questions where identical to the T. Save yourself some $ and use it on something else. Buy from self test.
