I want to take CCNA security. However, I am kinda confused as to where to begin studying in a sense that when I can't / haven't yet to find the proper simulation question for practice.
I have gotten the CCNA security ver 1,1 ( flash version) , but when I skimmed through the entire chapter , I cannot find packet tracer question just like CCNA R & S exploration had.
Then I began to look other alternative , for example , I found out this:
http://files.netcore.be/CCNAS/24795341-Instructors-CCNASec-V1-Lab-Manual.pdf
This is the lab manual , pdf version . But for some reason , I cannot find packet tracer for me to practice those simulation questions.
Then I went to this site : NetworkSims.com ProfSIMS Cisco CCNA Security Simulator , but I don't know whether their simulations are good enough or not. I cannot tell how it is , just by looking at some demo they got.
Finally, I dig around , and some people used GNS3 for simulations, but it seems complicated to me, as I never used it before.
So my questions : Can anyone point me to the right direction to where can I get these simulations ? I am referring to that pdf link above. This is really frustrating compared to when I learned CCNA R & S where I can get simulation practice right away from packet tracer in CCNA exploration.

I'd go for GNS3. It shouldn't seem complicated to setup a virtual network, for a network technician. This will be the best bet. There is a free CCNA Security workbook out there for lab ideas, just google it. Again, create the scenarios in GNS3. Unless Packet Tracer has changed a bunch, last I used it, it was missing commands and didn't work well with some topics, such as rapid spanning-tree. Once you go GNS3, you'll never go back.
