Warning! Grossly inadequate study guide.,
By BobSutan (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mike Meyers’ Security+ Certification Passport (Paperback)
Don't believe the glowing reviews. My thoughts are those were just the publisher or auther secretly promoting the book. The truth is this book grossly fails to cover the test objectives completely. I knew right from the start of the exam I was in trouble as the first two questions were nothing like what was covered in the book. Kerberos, Cryptography, Tunneling, and IPSec are just some of the areas this book fails to cover in enough detail. For example, something as simple as the port numbers for PPTP and L2TP weren't even mentioned in the book. Like another review, this book covered about 1/3 my test. I was able to answer another 1/3 of the test due to my 7 years of experience in the field, but even then I only scored 700 on the exam.This book is more of an intro to network security principles than an actual study guide for the Sec+ exam. Buyer beware!

Book is OK, CD is OK...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mike Meyers’ Security+ Certification Passport (Paperback)
Content is brief and makes the exam sound easy. Practice exams are OK, but don't fall prey to the "online upgrade"... its BS, the extra $20 only gives you online access to the same questions that are on the CD... I did pass the test with a 860/900 so the book won't hurt, but I'd get some other ones as well... A good bet for more practice questions would be ExamCram2's "Security+ Practice Questions". It is less than $20 and gives you the MeasureUp practice test CD that is $89 on their website...

Don't waste your time with this one,
By A. K. (Vienna, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mike Meyers’ Security+ Certification Passport (Paperback)
This book is too brief and gives an illusion that security+ is a very easy test but in reality it is not. I have passed the test with no thanks to this book.
