Passed GSEC

I got this one out of the way a few weeks ago, with a 92 or 93%, I forgot.

Kinda considering doing the Mentorship.

Anybody else ever gone down that path?

Anyways, I facilitated the work study in Las Vegas with DR. Eric Cole a few months ago. Great teacher BTW.

Like most, created an index for each book. Just PG/Term. Not very detailed.

Scored poorly on practice exam 77% and 78% since I rushed thru them in less than 2 hours. With the exam I finished with 45 minutes to spare.

It seems like the second half of the exam was much easier, IDK if that's been the case for anybody else.

Well, got GSEC and GCWN done last year. This year I probably won't see any SANS action (busy year with OSCP, EWPT, and CISSP). But, If I manage to squeak something in (work study) it will be 408, 503, 504, or 560.

    I've been procrastinating on these last 3 classes for WGU. After that, CISSP, OSCP and hopefully a SANS work study at some point this year.
