Network+ Review

Time

I studied for four weeks. I wanted to test on the 14th because it is a lucky number for me. I even took a 2pm time-slot to make it. I prefer mornings over afternoon testing.

Cost

Exam: $265. Get a voucher from SuperVoucher.com. Much better than paying $399.
Boson Practice Test: $80
Dion Practice Test $29.

Boson had a higher quality practice exam vs Dion.

Strategy

I watched Professor Messer videos while making notes on the Exam Topic PDF. Professor Messer is FREE and he FOLLOWS THE PDF to THE T. www.professormesser.com
After all these years, its this guy again. I'll be taking my Security+ twice since I let my 2019 edition expire. I learned to NEVER let it EXPIRE AGAIN.

Difficulty

The Network+ is harder than the Security+.

Testing Center

DeVore relocated to Macedonia and renamed to TestSpots, LLC. Great location.

Palo Alto for GNS3 CCDC Tutorial

Opening Hello fellow CCDC Competitors! Struggling to get a Palo-Alto VM? I know how you can get one! Email me at ASzampiasSWD@gmail.com. I'll tell you the steps to get a PA-VM for GNS3. Why am I giving this info to you? Wouldn't it make sense to hog the info to myself? Wouldn't my team have an advantage? There are have and have not universities when it comes to PaloAltos. I fell into the "have not" group. Our college didn't have access to PA-VMs and still doesn't. Even if PA Cybersecurity Academy is free, there is too much red tape. I can't change the outcome. I can only come up with this one solution. Another reason is Tri-C is a tryout team. I think its pretty unfair as a potential Firewall Admin I'm the only one with access. No one can challenge me unless they spend 2K for a PA-VM. It becomes a rich-person only position. I have a leftover PA-VM from 2018 I promised not to share. I couldn't share that with my challengers. But I f...

Release of CCDC ISE Manager Website

-
Image
I worked on the ISE (Inject Scoring Engine) website from 2017 to 2019. I made it to encourage teams to follow a merit-based, open admission tryout format. I identified a problem and made a solution for it. Problem: Call for Merit and Fairness on CCDC Rosters Solution: Github Project Solution: How to run a Team After Tri-C was finished with 2017 Midwest Wildcards I used httrack to grap the Inject PDF files. I didn't grap just the files, but the entire front-end code of the website. If you created the HTML and CSS of the original ISE website, tell me your name so I can give you credit! My goal was to make an almost-replica of the original. The database and back-end code is all guessing by me. I used a LAMP stack because I believe the original website is built on that. I did some fingerprinting and found the "ccdcadmin1" website was hosted on Apache and PHP. If you notice any bugs or errors let me know. If you want a feature added let me know. I will be working ...

CCDC Midwest Regionals Review

-
Image
On March 14, 2020 University of Akron placed 6th out of 9 teams at the Midwest Regional CCDC. Akron placed 3rd during Wildcards and was knocked out of Regionals by 1 spot. Two 1st Place State teams in the Region quit last minute, making room for Akron to compete in their place. Since Akron was notified Thursday at 12pm (Have to leave Akron at 4:30pm to make it to Chicago at a reasonable time), most of the team members had work duties and did not take time off. The Firewall Admin Amanda was the only Akron person who could leave on short notice. Teams that participated were: DePaul University IL (1st) IndianaTech IN (3rd) Purdue University IN Baker College Flint MI Pine Technical & Community College MN (4th) St. Cloud State University MN Baldwin Wallace University OH (2nd) University of Akron OH (6th) University of Wisconsin-Stout WI Missing 1st Place Kentucky NKU and Southeast Missouri Personal Writeup: I've been doing CCDC for 4 years now. Akron is my thir...
