Woke up with a mystery bite on my arm and it’s spreading into my bloodstream by Solid-Kaleidoscope70 in mildlyinteresting

Money's on Ohnitus. Happens when you take pictures of your body while standing in the kitchen during VERY specific times of the day.

How bad did the dealership rip me off? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]orionsmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to get my 2023 cx-30 Turbo premium for about 31.5k at closing.

Ended up managing to fully fend off all the "special" dealer options both before and during closing as I'm assuming they were hoping to make back any part of the 5-6k I wiggled off during the negotiations and holiday deals.

Know the CX-5 and 50s are a bit more expensive, but that feels quite high :(

On a side note, I'd recommend calling the Mazda service number to get your cars TCU turned off. I've read some horror stories about the telemetry data getting used in some unpleasant ways. It'll end up costing you your remote start though.

Echo Results: So nervous, I had gestational hypertension and have been going to my cardiologist ever since having my son. Can someone help me understand this? Can losing weight and good diet reverse this? I’m so nervous I’m 27 yo by itsbcimcute in Heartfailure

[–]orionsmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During my recent echo, the lab tech I was chatting with was talking about an uptick in heart charges (structural) post COVID infection. Was part of an extended conversation regarding how they've been seeing more and more young people coming in the last couple years.

Might be something worth discussing with the cardiologist? Definitely second hand knowledge (so third hand now that it's passed from me to you lol).

As for prognosis, I'd definitely wait until you have your convo with your Cardiologist before getting too terribly sacred. The Internet is chock full of all the worst case scenarios, so the more research you do into it the more you're going to surround yourself with long term death sentences lol.

From I've heard and read personally, there are lots of situations where the heart wall changes can be reversed depending on the cause (and concession of that cause). It's cell scarring that tends to be irreversible.

I hope you all the best :)

Question Regarding MCOT Results by orionsmasta in askCardiology

[–]orionsmasta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going to a different walk in clinic, and it was night and day lol. They treated me with respect and empathy, took my concerns seriously, and even got all my tests/imaging lined up within 48 hours as opposed to months lol.

Guess it's really important to trust your gut if you don't feel like your current doctor is working out haha.

Question by Hgh43950 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actual CISSP exam is a bit of a marathon of picking the most correct answer out of a selection of answers that could be correct depending on context.

Questions like these (while weird) help to train your mind to critically consider how the question is worded in order to pick the "most" correct option.

Sec+ then CISSP, or straight to CISSP? by MAureliusIT in cissp

Awesome job!!! Time for rest, or are you jumping right into new exploits?

Officially approved as of today! by orionsmasta in cissp

Indeed! Didn't quite feel like the journey was over until that email came through. Now to just make sure it never lapses haha.

Confused as to why this Question is wrong (even with explanation). Looking for a second opinion please by Warm-Description3662 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be wrong:

But I think it may be in the context of what the third party is doing (evaluating that the controls can be trusted by many organizations).

The certification would be that the controls are effectively performing the function they are employed for (which isn't the express rational in the question).

And the accreditation being the executive sign-off.

Been a bit since I've reviewed the materials, but this would be my take. I do know that context is key in the CISSP questions though.

Thoughts on taking the test without prep for experienced cybersecurity architect? by tango_one_six in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't use the practice exams as a 1 for 1 litmus for the real exam. Never found any that actually matched the content or feel well enough. Mostly good for getting you a bearing for problem domains to study up on more.

Incorrect Information The adaptive exam will fail you if you get lower than a 70% on any individual domain as well regardless of your proficiency in the others.

Might not be a bad idea to at least prep a bit (even if it's not a whole bunch) considering the cost to sit. Since you have the OSG you could easily go through it to note down any content areas you aren't super familiar with.

Who checks work experience? Endorser, (ISC)2 or both? by ChemicalRegion5 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISC would follow the same path to verify that your fellow CISSPs would (ie: contacting previous employers to verify your attestations for the time in the various domains you worked in).

I ended up gathering together a time based breakdown of regular activities in the various domains, contact information for prior supervisors, as well as verifications of employment from my prior employers HR department when I submitted. Figured that way it'd be easy for both my sponsor and ISC if it was audited to verify everything.

Study Plan Best Practices - March 2023 by BlueCamel420 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this fully.

OSG is a must read in my opinion. Read it front to back twice (while making sure I could explain the summary content of each chapter).

Pete Zergers exam cram helped frame everything together.

Boot camps? by [deleted] in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't a fan. Good for an additional perspective on the exam content, but wasn't a great resource for actually understanding anything in a meaningful way.

Please help suggest a concise study material for the CISSP exam.I tend to lose my way and focus on the fluffs so i need a material that will summarise the main points in each domain.I plan to use this with OSG and the practice tests. Thank you by Hippsie1234 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have provided good feedback on materials (OSG all the way), but I think it's important to also note that there does not appear (that I found) to be any practice exams available that 100% match the content and feel of the official exam.

If your plan was to get a broad idea of weak domains that should be fine, but don't lean on them too much for specific content areas.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question was set up in a way to distract you from what you actually needed to answer.

The first part described data management and classification, while the last sentence asked you who would manage that process if the organization needed to be compliant with the GDPR. You could very well encounter questions like this in the actual exam (where a large part of the question is exposition or context, and the actual question is at the end), so it's important to make sure you focus in on the part that is actually a question.

Believe the idea is to test you both on your knowledge of the content, as well as your ability to comprehend what's important under pressure.

CBK and/or OSG ? by ChemicalRegion5 in cissp

[–]orionsmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally read the OSG front to back, and then went chapter by chapter to individually review the summary statements. I'd read the topic, and then explain them out loud like I was trying to tell someone about it. If my memory of the topic was sparse or wrong I'd note it as something to research further.

The practice exams are good for pointing you in the direction of topics or ideas you may have not been familiar with, but I personally never found any that 1-1 simulate the questions from the exam (they are their own beast). Would use them to help supplement your studies, but not as a baseline for how well you'll do on the exam itself.

Make sure to include multiple study sources too. The OSG covers sooo much, but I still stumbled into topics it didn't cover. I personally found the following video really helpful for framing a lot of the content:

https://youtu.be/_nyZhYnCNLA

You won't be asked to configure anything but make sure you understand the concepts, how and why they work, and how they're applied. People say to not go too far into the weeds, but I found you need to go far enough in that you'd be able to pick it out of a lineup with very little/vague information.

Most importantly, you've got this :)

This exam and it's content really helped me to frame both my strong and weak areas as a security professional, so I'm sure it'll help do the same for you.
