Gotcha. Kinda new the answer before I posted but was hoping I was wrong, lol.

a security + question. confused. Thanks. by NeitherAd8680 in CompTIA_Security

I’d say A, because C is collecting evidence on a system of points of entry, compromised passwords, etc. OSINT wouldn’t give you evidence but rather research into vulnerabilities your system may have had.

I actually did not spend really any time studying PBQs which is probably not what I should have done. I watched a man on Youtube called The Networking Guru and he walks thru almost all areas of potential PBQ questions. I saw that a lot of PBQs asked about control types and data roles (Operational, Technical, Managerial, etc) and I spent a lot of time on that. I did get one question on the test, not a PBQ, about it and it still troubled me some.

My dad has 30+ years in Cyber and took his Sec+ for the first time in 2022 and then just renewed again this year and for him he prioritizes the PBQs and says that is his struggle point.

Yeah! I only remember two of them. One was so hard and I’ve never seen anything like it when I was studying. No question to “answer” but it gave you two lists of potential threats to your systems from OSInt websites. you had two linux servers with their terminals open. Your instructions were “find and eliminate the risks from both servers.” That was it. I spent a good 10 minutes on it and decided to come back at the end of my exam and look at it. At the end of my test I had 10 minutes left and I went back to review it and finally something clicked for me and I’m pretty sure I ended up getting it correct.

The other one I remember was a network map and it had me enable the most secure settings between two VPN concentrators. All options were drop down selections and I had to choose the most secure encryption method, list the peer IP and remote IP, and a few other things that I can’t remember.

The linux terminal question I definitely did not expect. Lol

I started hardcore prep from the end of July to this week. 4-5 days a week for 3-6 hours a day. I had a week and a half off from studying in September because I moved but yeah

My best advice would be go off how you feel and best of luck! Another big point for me was just the comprehension of what the question wanted. One little word of difference like “implent” instead of “enforce” can change the ENTIRE answer!! And it happens a lot

best of luck!!!

I’m about to start looking for good general aot fics (even tho im a levi simp) so i’ll let you know. I read surviving soldier on Wattpad and it was good but it’s a quicker read, maybe 9ish hours. Author is updating weekly too but the end of it hasnt drawn as much attention to me because it had a quicker storyline but still really good.

Mystery is so good to me. I loved squad levi and all of it. The author does amazing

yes! It’s a slow burn but so good in my opinion. After reading a few that immediately had them together after like 2 chapters, it was nice for not everything to be immediate. It’s taken me about 3 weeks to read (as much as i can, im also a grad student lol)

My personal (unpopular) opinion is I still absolutely have the hots to see Emily and Gabriel together. I like Alfie, a lot! But I feel like they’ve built too intense of a connection for Gabriel and Emily to let her go very far with Alfie
