SOC1 Pathway Content Relevance for Certification Exam and Study Challenges

The post asks whether all content from the SOC1 pathway is necessary for the certification exam. The author finds earlier material understandable but struggles with the Data Exfiltration Detection room, particularly DNS tunneling queries, which feel unexplained and require copying commands without clear context. They question whether they should memorize every query in detail or return to the material later. The post also inquires if others rely on Google during the exam.
