Some of you know that I just went to San Jose for my second Security Lab attempt.  While I did better than the first attempt I will be taking it one more time.  Yes, one more time.  I know some areas that I really want to nail down.  I think that VPN is taking me too long.  It’s not that I can’t do it, its just that I should do it faster.

So here is the Game Plan:

On the right side of this blog I have placed a countdown timer to my third lab date.  This is the one I am going to pass. (It’s ok, I can delete this post if I fail again)

Between now and then I am resolved to go back through the Internetwork Expert Volume 1 Lab guide and do every VPN lab in it until I can see the configs in my sleep.  Then, I want to firm up the MPF on the PIX and ASA.  Mostly just the ones that use regex in them.  I want to be able to burn through those configs.  Finally, Network Attacks I think I should work on.  What I may end up doing between now and then is ALL of Volume 1 and Volume 2 again.

I am also scheduled for the ipexpert bootcamp.  If work doesn’t hassle me that should put me over the top.

There is however one little catch.  I have a CCNA Wireless Quick Reference Sheet due into Cisco Press by November 1st.  I better go wrap that up.
