Bl8ckr0uter's Security+ trek

I am starting my S+ trek today. I am going to study from Darrils book and adding material if I need it. I will make a PDF from my notes so I hope that will help. If anyone is wondering I got a 70 percent on the practice assessment.

I want to take this test July 3rd.

I passed this morning with an 864. The test really isnt that difficult if you have a basic knowledge of infosec. Just take it already knw, you'll pass.

I'm scheduled for tomorrow.

Not really. I am going to look over the organizational security stuff tonight and then sleep like a baby (I have put in over 50 hours this week NOT including today).

Well guys it has been fun but I am leaving this thread. I passed today with an 850. It was an easy test. I should have taken it months ago.

By the way if you are in the Cincy area, take ALL of your test at TACTIX. They are the only place open on Saturdays within 200 miles. Awesome shop. Leather chairs and comfortable atmosphere.

Next up LPIC-1

Yea. I was kinda weak on PKI. I will probably pick up a windows PKI guide and read it (was I am going through the 290 material). I am back to thinking I won't take the test though lol.

WAY TO (BLANK)IN' GO!! LMAO!

I hope you weren't mad at me for "ridding" on you! LOL. I just knew you could do it.

(BTW, you should have taken that bet! Easy $100.....

No. I was honestly mad at myself and angry about some of the stuff I mentioned in the other thread. Plus that particular day I really needed to get laid and work has been making that har...errr...difficult lol.

Now my Linux+ trek needs to be short and sweet lol.

Oh and one thing I did notice about the test was that I had almost no networking questions at all. And I really need to get a good PKI book for the GSEC.

Congrats! It took a while but the important thing is that you finished. You passed on the first attempt with a good score, good job!

Sunday testing? Now that is

Devilsbane

Oh my god, its finally over. Congratulations!!

So you are going to read up on 290 but not take the test? I hate to break it to you, but the 290 doesn't cover PKI. If you want PKI then you need to look at the 293.

Bl8ckr0uter

I am going to review all the student manuals for the mcse.
