Re: books on security specialization

They have improved some.  I was just commenting to myself that their current release of BCMSN seemed to be bug free....   then it crashed on one of the practical exercises.   If you're paying for them what I am (i.e., business has a contract, and I'm not), they're pretty good.  They're worth the time it takes to go through them, and finding the mistakes emphasizes the material.   Worth what I paid for it, at least :)   Joel Studtmann ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Larrieu To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 9:11 PM Subject: RE: books on security specialization Unless SmartForce offerings have improved substantially since the last time I looked - March or so - I wouldn't bother.   Besides, I'm not sure anyone ought to be spending time learning Centri firewall ;->   Look, for the security test, you can get all you need and more free on CCO. It's not really a killer test ( yet! )   My opinion. worth what you paid for it.   Chuck   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of cryptobyte Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 11:42 AM To: Alfred Saulo; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: books on security specialization Ancillary material available from www.smartforce.com for: Cisco Router Firewall & Perimeter Security; and, http://www.smartforce.com/corp/marketing/corporate/content/Solutions/SmartCourses/catalog/curicula/courses/isec26e/isec26e.htm Cisco Security Solutions. http://www.smartforce.com/corp/marketing/corporate/content/Solutions/SmartCourses/catalog/curicula/courses/isec17e/isec17e.htm IOS, PIX and Centri [and much more] are covered.  To the level you desire ? I believe it is available separately (i.e., not bundled with Internet Security Consortium CD).  I haven't seen it at Cisco proper. For that matter, given Security interest, you might take a look at Internet Security Consortium offering.  It is was $2,500 and covers pretty near the whole gambit; however, Check Point and RAS pulled out at last minute. Not a dealer. Not a rep. Just repositioning. Good luck. cryptobyte   Alfred Saulo wrote: Just wanted to know if anyone knows any good books or study material for the security specialization test...
