I passed Sec+ a few weeks before I took 401 so I remember the difference pretty well. I don't remember the study material being 7 books long, although perhaps I just don't remember or they upped the content an additional book.

I created an index in a word document that linked to the numbered tabs in each book. onesaint, it was UMUC, but it was a fluke. So many people failed that hacking class that the department watered it down completely. Its sad that rather than pushing people to actually meet a standard, they just lowered the bar. I still talk with the teacher all the time, and its pretty bad. There is a pre-req of a linux+ class that people must take to be able to take this hacking class. People show up barely even being able to spell Linux.
