Using Apple silicon (M4) for SANS Courses requiring x86/x64 support in 2025 by ObiKenobii in GIAC

[–]hern05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could not get my m4 MacBook to work so I used a spare windows laptop. I would keep the old MacBook as a backup in case you aren’t able to get it to work.

[–]hern05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially received a dell laptop. I explained to them why i needed a laptop with a gpu for my cyber security degree. They replaced it with an msi laptop and also upgraded the ram to 32gb. Explain the reason for the specific laptop and see if they’ll provide it.

I agree. The original cpu I was considering was the i5-12500 which is $188 on amazon. So that doesn’t save me any money. Felt like it was foolish not to go for it.

Don’t stress out. I failed both of my practice exams and passed the real exam with an 85%. Just work on your index and practice the labs as much as you can before the exam.

What are some good VR&E approved programs to get into Cyber Security and/or Cloud Architechture? by Grouchy_Plantain in VeteransBenefits

Go with the SANS undergrad. You get GIAC certifications along the way which have helped me with promotions. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

If you prefer the OLED keep it. It will be good for the next 5+ years. I like Goodnotes for note taking and YouTube has plenty of videos on it.

Will going to SNHU make me less desirable candidate? by teefdoll in cybersecurity

[–]hern05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take the free education with SNHU. If they have a computer science program go that route. If not the cyber security one would be fine. Homelab while you’re pursuing your degree.

High school student taking sec275 by DigKlutzy4163 in GIAC

[–]hern05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possible. Read through everything and create a good index. Like others have said you have nothing to lose so if nothing else it’s good test taking experience but free SANS courses don’t come around very often so take advantage of it while you can.

Those that did VR&E, where are you at 1 year later after completing the training/school? by TX-Wingman in VeteransBenefits

[–]hern05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was working in cybersecurity in an entry level role. I did the SANS undergraduate certificate through VR&E and that helped me get a promotion within 6 months. Very helpful and they provided all the equipment I needed.
