I'm sure u can find lots of practice tests for it from searching online.

You're right, i can find a bunch ... but that takes away from the discussion that comes with the questions/answers..

@DustinB3403 That's a trick question you never cut the fiber. It's those wild backhoe's that eat it

They have to get the fiber in their diet from somewhere!

If you do decide to go the practice test route, I would recommend going to Udemy and purchase the practice tests from Dion Training and Mike Meyers. The modules are rather cheap at $9.99 and you can get over 500 questions for roughly $30.

In addition, you can hop over to https://www.professormesser.com/ and take his network challenge questions. Don't forget to go through questions from previous months and years. This can add up to another 100 questions.

The key words in the question is "most vulnerable attack vector" so IMHO, D] would incorrect.

Well People would be the most vulnerable

so B?

I thought that too, but then I thought that was too easy and that he probably was meaning something else .

I get that. There are actually many of those on the practice tests. Just when you think, "Nah, that can't be right..." Occam's razor strikes again.

i took one of the professor messer Take ten challenges, and im not happy with the results. Guess I need to rethink how i'm studying..

Yes. He does have some tough questions. Don't forget to check out his Pop Quiz questions as they go back a couple years. I went through most of them over the course of a couple days. If I got one wrong, I did some further research why.

It's B. The most vulnerable point is always your people, not your tech.

The test SHOULD be too easy. If you really know the material, and are paying attention to the reading (because the questions are designed to not let you skim them), it should feel pretty obvious a lot of the time.
