Day #36 – Written Prep going on

Aloha!

I got lost.

I started making notes for many chapters , but i lost interest mid-way ‘coz i was just repeating a lot of stuff from the text. :) So i’m only taking down very few points which i will condense into one BIG document and post it here soon.

I studied the chapter about MARS and i found it really interesting. I hope to read more on this once i’m done with the CCIE.

I need your help now! :)   I’m going to done with Yusuf’s book this week and i was looking for some more material to read for the written exam. Do you have any suggestions? I’d love to hear from you! :)

I grew sick of only studying. So i’ve scheduled a rack-session tomorrow and i’m going to be doing the IPS vol1 labs! :) I’m really excited ‘coz this’s the first time i’ll be labbing with the IPS and i’m really looking forward to this.

I’ve this idea which i want to share with you all regarding a new-feature that i’ve had in my mind for quite sometime. Look out for my next post!

Cheers,

Day #32 – Written Prep begins

This feels a lot like how Aragorn would’ve felt at “Helm’s Deep” waiting for the first great war to start! :) My prep for the written started yesterday and i started with Yusuf Bhaiji’s Network security technolgies book. I’ve been through this book once before but that was just a read through.

Now, i’m going through the chapters in a detailed fashion and making notes as i go along. I did chapters 1 -5 yesterday. 1 and 2 were pretty basic so i did’nt make any notes, but i have notes for chapters 3,4 and 5.

You can find them below!

CHAPTER – 3 : DEVICE SECURITY

CHAPTER – 4 : SECURITY FEATURES ON SWX’s

CHAPTER – 5 : CISCO IOS FIREWALL

I hope you find these useful! :)

I was awake till 4 AM so i’m completely tired now. Can’t study anything today so i’ll get back with more notes tomorrow! :) If any of you have any notes/cheatsheets that you use , i would really appreciate it if you could send it to me. I’ll upload it here so that me+others can be benefited :D

Now, that’s done i’m running a small POLL (on the side-bar)  regarding a feature which i was thinking of implementing soon! I’d be super happy if you could vote/comment on this :) Thanks in advance!

Again, I hope all of you had a great vacation. Let’s all kick some security ass this year! :)

Cheers,

2010 : Changes!

Happy 2010! :) I hope this year brings you many certifications, peace , joy and satisfaction.

On a personal front, i’m really looking forward to this year. I hope to achieve my CCIE-security and the CWSP certifications this year (and hopefully get into networking full-time! ) :)

I’ve introduced 2 new features in this site.

  • Google Calendar Integration
    • I’ve installed a small widget which displays my google calendar schedule on the side-bar.
    • From now on, i will be actively updating this calendar so that my future study schedules ,etc can be easily located .
    • I feel this feature might be useful to others who are studying for the CCIE-security.
  • Live Chat!
    • I’ve also installed a “Live chat” widget through which we can keep in touch in Real-time!
    • Since this blog is all about sharing, i’ve chosen a chat widget which displays all the chats . This might help others facing similar configuration issues.

Hope you like these new features! :) I’d love to receive any feedbacks/suggestions regarding these! :)

Again, have a great 2010 and i will definitely be posting more actively this year.

Cheers,

TacACK
