A word to the wise for people using the Mike Myer's Certification Passport Security+ Study Guide by Trevor Kay (ISBN 0072227419). 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.
This book is more of an intro to network security principles than an actual study guide for the Sec+ exam. Buyer beware!
Sorry, but I had to vent. Its been a bad day, and it all started with this exam.
