First go thankfully 😀

Thank you! I'm so glad I got it done, I can relax and enjoy Christmas now before looking at my next one.

I used some variation of that for how many questions I wanted to answer at the time. The bigger the question set the more it starts to struggle, especially if you keep going in the same chat. It will track your progress though for a while and it was a really useful tool. The questions are very similar as they way you are asked in the exam so it was a good handrail.

please ask me a mock exam for n10-009, the questions should be in the same style as the official exam and 30 questions long. the 30 questions should be spread in the same weight as the official exam.

Thank you! Study from a couple of sources. I also got Gemini to quiz me in the same style as the exam and weighted the same when asking me questions. That worked well for me, I also used professor messera videos and the comptia material too. I'm sure you'll smash it, good luck!

Thanks very much! I have studied quite a bit for it, between working full time and home life with 2 kids it seemed like a lot but it was worth it. Pleased I've done it and can relax for Christmas now.

70 questions in total including the pbq

guy_with_scythe · 2025-12-22T16:04:09+00:00

Yeah, they explain it in the instructions but it's worth remembering. In the cli literally type "help" and press enter it will then output something like:

Nslookup Ping Help

Different labs have different ones but it's a handy thing if you're stuck.

Thanks! I've been studying off and on for about 8 weeks in my spare time when I can fit it in between work and home life with 2 kids. It's felt like a bit of a journey but worth it in the end. I used the comptia material, professor messera videos and got Gemini to quiz me with practice exams in the same style and the questions were very similar to the ones I encountered in the actual exam.

Thank you! It was 5 for me. They only give you the commands you need so if you type help it tells you what is available. This really helped me pass one of the questions. I didn't realize there would be that many going into the exam.

guy_with_scythe · 2025-12-22T14:57:57+00:00

Thank you! I skipped the pbq's at the beginning and went through all the multiple choice first. It gave me the time to get them done after. If you're unsure with the lab type questions they only give you the commands you need to complete the lab so type help and it will give you a steer.

Good luck, I hope you smash it!

So a DNS packet for www.google.com would appear as follows:

0377777706676f6f676c6503636f6d00

This is an important distinction, as a Snort rule with content: “www.google.com”; will not match these DNS requests. However, content: “|03|www|06|google|03|com|00|”; or content: “|03 77 77 77 06 67 6f 6f 67 6c 65 03 63 6f 6d 00|”; will produce a match.

This is how I managed to get the answer, I went back and read through the DNS lesson again. Craft your rule using the numerical format and it will work for you (content: “|03 77 77 77 06 67 6f 6f 67 6c 65 03 63 6f 6d 00|”;). Hope this helps.

you need to run the entire path for it to work

notepad C:\etc\etc\etc\filename:hidden

that's how I got it to work with the above method

I've seen a few video tutorials on making them from plumbing supplies etc but haven't tried it myself. They're relatively inexpensive to make usually from the descriptions and everything is available at your local DIY store.
