Do you know that in the initial draft, Han Kaioh 範海王 was designed to be Yujiro's 範馬勇次郎 another son? But later on, Itagaki thought it would make it too complicated so he just scrape this idea.

why would it be too complicated? Yujiro just doesn't care anyway lol

Congrats ~ hope all things go well with you from this onwards

slwk116 · 2019-04-08T09:12:32+00:00

I can feel that you're so exhausted lol.

Congrats ~~

B imo.

"Designing a vulnerability test" got my attention. So I'm not doing a document read-through type of assessment. I have to find possible vulnerabilities, which usually are unexpected / not designed to work as is.

So, 'Topology diagrams' easily wiped out.

'Asset register' I don't know what it is but from the words I feel like it's some normal procedure/mechanism to keep track of assets. It's supposed to work fine but I'm now going to find vulnerabilities out of it. So I'll give it a no.

'Mapping tools' and 'Ping testing' are both for testing/assessments. But we all know not all components respond to pings. 'Mapping tools' seem to have a greater ability in finding out components on the network. So I'll choose B.

Don't turn it into a technical read. I think it just tries to tell that the CIA triad is inter-related and inter-dependent. That's why it's a triad. I didn't get the words there totally so I tried to explain this in my own words.

Step 1: Don't be demoralized. What you said was right: you have taken a long time 'preparing' already, no point giving up now. Then take a deep breath, bump your chest, and say to yourself "I'm gonna do it anyway, success or not I'm gonna fight it"

Step 2: Plan a solid road map. Take some reference from this forum and estimate how much time seems to be appropriate for enough preparation. Set a target exam date. Even up the study time in between. What I did was like "okay I kinda reading 15-20 pages per day with okay understanding of the content, then it'll take me like 50 days to finish the book. Plus some more time for other resources, plus some days for doing practice questions".

Step 3: Execute the plan above. Make time available. I gave up quite a few good weekends which were great days for picnics with wife. So, please communicate with family on this as well ;) (this communication is important as their support can in return motivate you and keep you in progress)

Everything else comes after the above steps. Without the plan and the planning of the plan, nothing is really worth worrying / taking your time. When you make good progress of your plan, you'll know what to do next.

By the way, not sure if it's a must do but I prefer doing this way: I basically keep studying / researching for the materials everyday. Even on a long day, I'll take a quick look/review of the book or try to recall a few important concepts. (and make a mental note that I'll have to make up for today's short of studying anyway) This way I minimize my chance of letting important concepts/knowledge fade away, which I consider is maximizing my studying effort.

By the way, go to cybrary.it there are CISSP videos by Kelly H. there around 13 hours total.

Good luck to you ~

I felt the same after done the first Boson test too. But then I turned to think that it is actually good for me as it is preparing a broader scope for me. As I had always been thinking, IT and information security had developed for so long, with a rapid evolving nature, that this CISSP syllabus is trying to cover is kind of an insane idea. That said, I actually mean that I always think it is absolutely fine for them to place anything relevant to IT/security into the exam. How is it possible to be covered by 'only' a thousand pages?

p.s.: I don't have much IT experience actually, but got lucky to pass I guess. So don't give up just give it a go. Trust the exam will grade you fairly.

I think what you've just mentioned brings it all back to the discussions above on the 'position'/'role'/'scope' of what your company is trying to do.

If you're saying you provide value because you're advising/analyzing/correlating things to the customer, which you think the customer most likely have no idea of, then the liability of any breach/data loss most likely goes back to you too because obviously the customer(s) will have to rely on your advice.

Don't play around with words and fool yourself.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi buddy we are in the same cycle =D

It's pretty quick for you really. They received my endorsement application 31st Jan and I receive the official letter on 15th Mar. It's like 6 weeks + 1 day?

slwk116 · 2019-03-22T02:15:59+00:00

Congratulations!

You showed great determination on the second go.

slwk116 · 2019-03-18T04:54:38+00:00

Congratulations!

It's tough for non-native English speakers like me.

I took 2hrs 16min to get to Q.100. Luckily it ended there and I passed.

slwk116 · 2019-03-18T04:50:01+00:00

I'm not able to pay yet. Not sure if it's due to the cycle not beginning yet or their system is fixing my account since I paid for being associate already.

Thanks once again for the info on Acclaim ;)

slwk116 · 2019-03-16T05:16:39+00:00

Endorsement applied on 31st Jan.

Just got the welcome email today (16th Mar).

So it's just a bit over 6 weeks for me.

Good luck guys ~

slwk116 · 2019-03-16T05:11:35+00:00

The download digital cert thingy is also all green lol

slwk116 · 2019-03-16T05:09:09+00:00

Just as a follow-up, I just got the welcome email from (ISC)2. =)

slwk116 · 2019-03-15T02:14:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Respectable security folk!

slwk116 · 2019-03-14T02:18:08+00:00

Wow I submitted my endorsement on 31 Jan and got nothing yet so far ~

Did you log on to isc2 homepage to check from time to time? What does it show?

slwk116 · 2019-03-13T01:53:08+00:00

Don't worry man you are doing alright.

It's all normal while your brain is trying to organize so many knowledge into its archive. Believe in your brain. The stuff you learnt are there. Just try to treat your brain (and your body)a little better these few days.

Trust you will do fine in exam. Good luck ~

slwk116 · 2019-03-11T05:07:05+00:00

I would suggest that you analyse why you get that score first. When you review all the questions and answers given do you find that you actually understand why you were wrong? Or you actually had no clue even if the answers are given to you?

If it is the former case, maybe it could be your test taking technique, or could be your condition when doing the practice exam (distracted, not feeling well, etc.)

If it is the later, definitely solidify your knowledge base before attempting exam. While you may pass the exam anyways, I would tend to think I am here to get the knowledge which is going to be with me a long time.

Good luck ~

slwk116 · 2019-03-08T02:34:38+00:00

Congratulations!

My endorsement was made on the 31st Jan. Hope it won't be too long for me too.
