Links to Free Study Guides for Security+

FijianTribe · November 2005

Johan's information is awesome and well written.
I've been collecting a few other links to free study guides online.
To my knowledge these are all legit sites, so if I am wrong, please delete the link to the site not the post.

Good list. I don't mind links in the forums if they point to good and 'clean' material, but feel free to submit them at the preferred place, our new link dir:

Yeah, I tried to verify each one of them and tried to make sure the sites were 'clean'.

Webmaster · November 2005

It's usually not an issue with non-certification sites as those in your previous post above, that's why I prefer those. These are the same kind of resources I use for fact-checking and research when writing the Sec+ TechNotes.
