CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Study Group Session - September 2024 Exam Preparation

This is a CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 study group session from September 2024, covering exam preparation through multiple-choice and performance-based questions. The instructor reviews key security concepts including certificate validation delays caused by Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), which require downloading and searching large files compared to faster alternatives like Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). A detailed performance-based question walks through the six phases of incident response in correct order: preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned, with specific actions mapped to each phase such as disconnecting infected workstations during containment and reimaging systems during recovery. The session also covers replay attacks, where attackers intercept and reuse password hashes or session IDs from previous legitimate login sessions to gain unauthorized access. The Security+ SY0-701 exam consists of 90 questions over 90 minutes with a passing score of 750 out of 900 points, was released November 7, 2023, and has an estimated retirement date of May 2027. Study materials and exam vouchers with discount pricing are available at professormesser.com, and the session recording will be posted as both video and audio podcast formats.
