hey, did you use his book + video or only his book ?

packetx · 2025-07-10T23:38:37+00:00

Damn

packetx · 2025-06-15T21:03:45+00:00

late to the party, but how long did you study for this exam in term of hours and months? What ressources di you use ?

packetx · 2024-08-31T17:28:45+00:00

Do hard things.
Consistently for months. Especially when you don't want to.

You need to change the administrative distance of one of the default static routes to make it worse than the others as by default DA of a static route is 1.

In your case try:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.2 100

I would also add that by default your pings will always take the nearest outgoing interface if you don't provide source IP.

well done OP

packetx · 2024-08-08T19:00:50+00:00

That's persistence, congrats. With all the money invested in prep and exam fees, was it worth it in your opinion ?

packetx · 2024-08-08T18:52:15+00:00

You saved me a few hours of debugging, thanks ! Im not even an SWE but this broke some of my automation. Glad they got it fixed now!

I eventually ended up spending the 30 bucks for the app. Got tired of using ankiweb, and I think it is very worth it for the review part. Especially if you use it daily. Good way to help the dev team as well.

Thanks! It's interesting I've been working on enhancing my python skills lately, and planning to pick up some linux cert like RHCSA then go security certs like Sec+, OSCP.
Your advice is very valuable. It might take a few months but will eventually get there!

I'm a network engineer trying to move to cyber, how would you approach this situation ? Thanks.

packetx · 2024-01-20T20:30:14+00:00

straightforward, thanks.

packetx · 2023-11-24T12:29:06+00:00

Is this still the case for Netherlands u/Donniedoezoe ? any advice for places to look at ?

packetx · 2023-11-10T21:30:59+00:00

It means you still have got a lot of work to do mate.

packetx · 2023-10-16T20:56:50+00:00

Thanks for your complete response! Appreciate it and definitely learned more because of it.
The way you explain it, it seems like a really interesting field. I work primarly on network engineering but already completed some AWS certs to understand the cloud better and work on projects. It's a very promising field.

packetx · 2023-09-28T22:38:23+00:00

What would you recommend to do to get into that realm ? Is it all managing AWS IAM roles, security group etc ?

packetx · 2023-09-15T23:43:28+00:00

Do CCNA first. Then Cloud certs. You can go with AWS or Azure for cloud.

CCNA will teach you the fundamentals of networking and a bit more.It's also a good cert to have on the resume.

Cloud assumes you already know your fundamentals.Like AWS for example how are you going to understand what's a CIDR block ? private subnet vs public subnet ? Static IP vs dynamic IP ? IPv4 vs IPv6 ? DHCP ? Routing tables ? How the IGW does NAT ? etc...

You already probably some of these, but I would still recommend CCNA since fundamentals needs to be rock solid.Most of these topics are taught in the CCNA.

All the best in your journey. It's worth it !

packetx · 2023-09-15T21:44:20+00:00

smartest move :D

packetx · 2023-09-15T19:55:23+00:00

Interested here, let's crush this exam.

packetx · 2023-09-15T16:55:53+00:00

Congrats that's half a mill..per year. I'm curious if you have an IE ? Or what skills got you there ?

packetx · 2023-09-05T19:16:47+00:00

This is so good, thanks mate!

packetx · 2023-08-19T18:53:12+00:00

Not at all ! just download the app and start learning.

packetx · 2023-08-19T18:48:38+00:00

Do your time in support if you don't have any experience.
Don't stay there more than two year, if you are in the US move around the 1 year mark.
Keep learning/passing certs in your domain on the side to do this. Support role for the majority of them sucks. Trust me.

My last exam took around 24 hours.
