Space Racist posted:Has anyone had experience with Pluralsight's SYO-501 course? It's about 18 hours long versus Professor Messer's 13-14 hour course, and I feel like every bit of those extra 4 hours is just the instructor repeating topics he's already covered. Like, a topic will be covered for one section of the course, then later on, he'll bring up the topic again as part of a related heading and repeat the exact information almost verbatim. "As we mentioned before, honeynets are..." It's a pretty easy test I wouldn't worry.

Does anyone have any study recommendations for the Office 365 MCSA? My VP would like me to get the cert because we're going to be rolling o365 out soon company wide. We have some Microsoft training credits but it looks like the courses they sponsor only give 5 days of access to lab environments, which is not going to be enough for me.

Just shy of 1 month into OSCP. Finished all course materials and exercises and have 10 root and 2 low priv shells within the lab network. Not using Metasploit other than aux. There’s a drat good chance all my low hanging fruit is cleared out and I just need to learn more. I’m not too concerned about the time limits as I’ll just extend as necessary but hitting a wall is a bit deflating. I’d have considered myself pretty good technically but this poo poo is hard. Fun, but loving hard.

You better get back to your VP and make sure you're going through a VAR. Microsoft is paying VARs to have specialists who help (you) migrate to o365. Take the classes and shadow the SME.

Vcp is likely in my future as my role mostly deals with NSX. Is vpc mostly knowledge based or is it more practical?

They are heavier on theory than practice. If you’re trying to prep for the VCP-NV you’ll want to read and understand (very well) the NSX design guide and have some experience configuring NSX components since there are still questions like “what option would you select in the menu to accomplish x” and so on.

The VP wanted me to get the cert, more to familiarize myself with o365 so I can help administer the systems. Our department is pretty small and everyone has to wear multiple hats. I'm on the service desk so this is pretty much the VP wanting to get me to the level that I can deal with incidents and service requests without having to escalate everything to the system and app admins.

It sounds scurry but you'll mostly engage with support though the VAR (who can really push your issues, if unique, to the top of support) or microsoft itself. They might make you do a bit of powershellin'. But waiting on callbacks from microsoft will be the order of the day.

I’m in the Bryant Advantage CCNA course on Udemy right now. It’s ok, he covers the material pretty well, but it’s mostly just him talking over text slides so if you are a more visual learner that needs diagrams or examples of real world equipment this course doesn’t have much of that. If you’re already in networking and familiar with the equipment then it should be fine. The entire course is $11 on Udemy.

I can't remember which course I took but I swear 60% was him talking over a CLI screen while he typed poo poo in. Maybe I just blocked out all of the time looking at slides? Agree that there really aren't too many diagrams though.

If anyone else is studying for the Sec+ SYO-501 and possibly interested: I can definitively say 'gently caress this' to the Pluralsight course. I feel lame bailing on it since it's only 18 hours long, but after finishing 80% of it I'm pretty certain my effort is better spent elsewhere. Seriously, save yourself the trouble and just go with Professor Messer. Besides the obvious benefit of being free, he's just outright better. I had a lot of success with Pluralsight's ICND1 course (and hopefully will as well with ICND2), but man, there's a huge variance in quality from that course to this one.

It's a theory some dude wrote, then alerted the media to as if it were real, and CompTIA bit hard. The logistics of a real warchalking attack is atrocious. It doesn't benefit the attacker so there's no motivation to actually do it.

I think everyone’s favorite Warchalking reference may be removed in the SYO-501. I haven’t finished the whole curriculum yet but it hasn’t been mentioned once. There are still some silly terms like ‘vishing’ but I’m guessing after getting clowned on so much for those they trimmed back a bit. There are of course still extremely difficult-to-master concepts like ‘shred your discarded documents’ and ‘have guards for secure areas’, so don’t worry too much about CompTIA losing a step.

N10-007 came out recently and they seem to have cut down pretty heavily on that crap; there's still some legacy stuff in there, of course, but a lot has been removed.

Does anyone have any suggested resources or tips for the GCP Cloud Architect exam? I've got access to the official(?) Coursera videos and I know LinuxAcademy has a few courses. Has anyone taken the test or have any tips? I imagine it's similar to the AWS exams.

Passed ICND1. My section scores don't add up to what my final score was but I'm guessing I did better on the simulation and simlet stuff that probably carries a higher weight than a straight multiple choice question. Didn't realize their simulations blocked the "show running-config" and "show cdp neighbors" command that I had available in my Boson simulated tests but I was able to power through. On to ICND2.

All questions, even among multiple choice, have different weights. According to the disclosure at the beginning of the test, some questions have no weight at all to your score. Presumably this is either a survey tool from Cisco to see what candidates know that's not covered by the material, or as an anti-cheating measure.

I've assumed they have stuff that is considered ICND2 or CCNP level (speaking to this specific ICND1 example), when I took the ICND1 last year I had read through the previous iteration of the book so I can't recall what got moved up to CCNP but I think they had OSPF stuff on my test that was otherwise not in the objectives, but I might be mistaken.

Space Racist posted:Congrats! What’s your plan of attack for the ICND2? I’ll be hitting that myself after Sec+. I'm at WGU so I'll be using the material they provide. For ICND1 and ICND2 they use the Official Cert guide by Wendell Odom. They also provide access to CBT Nuggest and Pluralsight for video training and Boson NetSim and Boson Exam Environment for sims and exam prep. The Boson Exams were super helpful and were very similar if not a little harder than the actual test. I also bought some equipment on eBay which I've been playing around with to follow along with commands in the book but I don't think it's required to pass the material. You can use something like GNS3 to do everything you need.

You need to have knowledge of other routing protocols and their AD for the test but ICND1 is RIP only.
