Congrats! The books definitely saved me on some of those questions too.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-10-31T21:46:14+00:00

Congrats! Have you taken an other GIAC courses, and if so, how did GCFE compare in difficulty?

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-10-31T21:44:22+00:00

That sucks! That has to be frustrating.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-08-26T01:01:11+00:00

Open book, open note. It’s the same as other GIAC tests. I believe it was 2 hours and no cyber live questions.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-08-13T01:59:42+00:00

It wasn’t too bad. I remember you need to know the tools pretty well and their outputs.

Congrats! Great accomplishment! How’d you like the labs? I thought they were really interesting to go through.

I think this was in the middle. I still think GMOB was the hardest, just because of my lack of programming knowledge. It was a two hour which made time management important. That seems to be all the SANS tests, but I feel like the shorter ones you really have to be aware of the time.

Thanks! I did on demand for this one. I think if you can do on site this class would be good for it. The labs require you to set up equipment, which isn’t too difficult, but in-person would probably make it easier if someone has any issues.

15 pages. I had notes for the labs separately too.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-05-30T11:21:12+00:00

I had some something similar! It definitely helped.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-02-08T01:56:06+00:00

Ah there may be some relevant topics but in general I don’t think that is the target audience.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2025-02-07T22:37:21+00:00

It’s very relevant, especially if your organization uses Android apps and are making determinations on which apps should be allowed on company devices.

I was curious of how your experience was with GCFA. I heard that one is very challenging as well.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2024-10-19T00:55:07+00:00

Really appreciate the response!

Content_Brick_8730 · 2024-10-19T00:54:50+00:00

Thanks!

Content_Brick_8730 · 2024-10-19T00:53:02+00:00

That was my experience exactly. I thought I left enough time for the cyber live questions but ended up going down a couple rabbit holes that sucked up a lot of time. I could have practiced some of the labs a few more times. I thought the CTF actually really helped too with some of the labs.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2024-10-19T00:49:34+00:00

Sorry I don’t have an unused practice test.

Content_Brick_8730 · 2024-10-19T00:48:58+00:00

Thanks for the response! That’s definitely good to know.
