DSST Fundamentals of Cybersecurity (study resources + feedback) - NolaRice - 01-18-2017
I am currently studying for the DSST Fundamentals of Cybersecurity exam. This is a retake for me, I went in cold, no studying, a few months ago and scored 391 (passing grade 400), so far yet so close! It is definitely one of the hardest exams out there.
Here are the resources I am using to study:
- 12 pages of notes from user HomeSchooled which I am attaching (thanks for being awesome, HomeSchooled!).
- This thread from user Chebasaz
- Professor Messer's Security+ videos
- As well as this book: SSCP Systems Security Certified Practitioner All-in-One Exam Guide
Other recommended resources on this forum are Darril Gibson's Security+ book, and skimming some CISSP books. I will update this thread once I retake the exam with my feedback (ETA mid-February).

Had to go back and read my post. How was that 1 1/2 yrs ago? :willynilly:
you were close with a 391. review the SSCP book and the Messer Sec+ videos and focus in on Cryptography and attack types from CISSP. Taht should put you over the top.
