Re: Certification studying self control
I don't impose limits. My other commitments naturally do that for me. Between work, wife, kids, and extracurricular activities I just study whenever I can. It varies daily because each day I have a different activity (swimming, tennis, Dutch lessons, whatever my wife wants to do, etc). Over studying for some might not be… -

Re: Starting pay for Security+ Cert??
That is definitely the magic question and the first one that comes when studying for a new cert! I can only attest to the landscape in my city, Austin TX. Entry level security administrators with Security+ would probably make around 50-55k here. As someone who frequently interviews security engineers, I can honestly say… -
Re: My Check Point CCSA R76 Study
Persistent! Unfortunately, you will have to purchase these as the ones that I received are hard paper copies - not sure if they're available in pdf/ebook format. Edit: wow, this post sure got popular! I thought it would just slide off into the ether that is the internet. Just thought that i'd update to say that i've moved… -
Re: Question for anyone who recently took the GCIA
If you've ever taken an in person GIAC exam, or at least we used to, warn students that transferring materials is against the EULA in general. Its easy to gloss over and have seen my share of abuse but your still violating the spirit if not the letter of the agreement from a legal view. Its been awhile since I have seen… -
Re: Passed CEH Exam
Congrats on the pass! What are your current job duties? What certifications/skills do you currently possess? The answers to those questions will help us be more specific in our recommendations. I'm assuming you have CCNA, CCNA:Sec and CEH (and maybe Sec+) and are working something like a network admin/engineer role. Based… -
Passed CCSP - May 18th 2021
Hey There, If you’re reading this write-up then you’re in the path of becoming a CCSP or at least express interest in cloud security. Here’s my journey into the CCSP exam. Back in 2017-2018, I had attempted to write the CCSP certification, I had just came off writing the CISSP and CISM back to back and I felt pretty… -
Re: Passed CEH
For another thread on CEH Resources - Mine is as of March 2006, first edition. This is a good book. At a final moment before the test, I scanned this again sipping my favorite Columbia in a nearby coffee shop. You might check legal & administrative aspects. I also read "Exam Cram 2: CISSP Practice Questions" written by… -
Passed the CISM exam!
I provisionally passed the CISM exam today! Over the moon is an understatement! I used two resources to study. Cybrary videos and the Q&A db. I attempted the Q&A questions 2,200 times. There are a 1,000 questions in the db so you can see I hit it quite hard. As I was going through the db I made notes on any… -
210-260 pass
Passed with a 8xx score (passing is 860 I think) 1) Chris Bryant's Udemy course, which helps a ton if you follow his labs and complete them on your own using packet tracer. 2) FedVte - Not as good as Udemy 3) Official Cert Guide (Front to back 3x) Started in Feb and spent most of my time using packet tracer and replicating…
