So I recently acquired the surprisingly-massive Wireshark Study Guide. Jeez, I could do some damage with this thing; literally, as it happens.

I will be doing an in-depth review from the POV of a n00b as I go through the book, for anyone interested. I am like 40 pages in and already love her semi-informal style of writing. It relaxes you, makes…[Read more]

Just for the sake of being thorough, I should add that PrepLogic has something similar to the Career Academy all-access pass, only it’s two years of access instead of just one. 

I don’t have any relevant experience beyond some work solving your typical tech problems at people’s home and tutoring people in basic computer usage.  My skills extend beyond that, but only so far.  I want to eventually get into computer security, but I clearly don’t have the knowledge or experience I need to do that.

I should add, as far as comparison, I’m less interested in what will help me pass the test so much as which set will help me learn the material more.  For $135 or whatever the software is for each of the TechCerts things are, I’m imaging the CA stuff is likely to stack up better in that respect, yes?

Awesome, was just curious because I’d had a similar issue.  Can’t wait til my physical copy arrives, but I wanted to pre-order so I could have it right away. 

I had to log out and then log back in for my download to register as available, but it was there minutes after I’d actually made my purchase.  Any update, nicklaus?

FWIW, I’m a new student with HackingDojo.com and haxrbyte is actually my teacher for the novice-level class (1R); *waves*.  As far as the presence/absence of Thomas, I should point out that while we interact with our direct teacher, we actually also get access to a video version recorded by Thomas as well, so we can hear the material presented to…[Read more]
