We have just uploaded the next Mind Map in our CEH series of Mind Maps.
This is the Mind Map covering Module 6 of the Certified Ethical Hacker, Trojans and BackDoors.
In This Mind Map we cover what Trojans are, how they propagate and also the most common types of Trojans that make up part of the CEH syllabus.
Trojans are a key topic to understand as part of your CEH study or general security knowledge. They have been a major issue in the security arena for quite a few years and have caused a lot of financial security breaches as well as mischief on industry.
Follow this link to download the Mind Map and please comment on this post to let me know any suggestions you may have on how to improve these Mind Maps.
Just returned from my holiday and just completed the next installment for the CISSP Mind Maps.
This Mind Map is for the CISSP Law, Investigation, and Ethics module of the CISSP common body of knowledge. This covers the mainly US laws that are tested on the exam as well as the ISC2 code of ethics that you do get asked about and as a CISSP, are expected to withhold.
Download the Mind Map directly from here and as usual, please comment on this post and let me know your thoughts..
Thanks,
I have just uploaded a Mind Map that I created that shows you how to crack WEP 64bit and 128bit using BackTrack version 3.
I regularly use BackTrack 3 as part of my penetration testing toolkit. I have a dedicated laptop built with BackTrack version 3 and use the various command line tools as part of my testing methodology.
This Mind Map shows you how to use the aircrack suite of tools that is included in BackTrack 3. With these tools you are able to crack a wireless WEP key in a few minutes.
I have had great success with this method and a 100% record of recovering the WEP key when asked to perform this for a client as part of a wireless assessment. I have managed to crack both 64bit and 128bit WEP for customers.
This Mind Map covers cracking WEP when a client is connected to the network. I will also be doing another Mind Map where there are no attached clients.
Obviously this tool and methodology can only be used on access points that you have the ownership, or permission to carry out such a test.

Again, please comment on this post to let me know your thoughts.
After too long a break, we have uploaded the 5th installment of our CISSP Mind Maps, the CISSP Mind Map for Cryptography.
This Mind Map covers the basics of Cryptography and provides information on the cryptographic algorithms you need to know in order to achieve success in this CISSP Module.
Asymmetric and Symmetric cryptographic algorithms are explained and examples of each are given in order to help the student.
Again, all of this is presented in the Mind Map format which has been created in MindJet Mind Manager.

Sorry for the lack of posts but I intend to submit the PDFs of the remaining CISSP and CEH Mind Maps as well as some other cool ones I have such as how to crack WEP with BackTrack and some other BackTrack specific Mind Maps.

Just a quick post to wish all my readers a very merry Christmas!I guess not much studying is going to get done over the festive period, let your hair down, drink, and be merry!
Whilst surfing around, I came across GetCertify4Less. Now, these guys appear to sell VUE testing vouchers at a discount, sometimes over 50%. Some of the vouchers have expiry dates and they do appear to be legitimate. I have read reviews of people who use them with no issue.
They have exam vouchers for Cisco, Microsoft, MOS, Novell, Check Point, IC3 and HIPAA.Check them out at http://www.getcertify4less.com/ and see what you think!

I have just enabled iPhone support on the MindCert blog.
So, for those of you fortunate to own an iPhone, you can now browse this blog in Safari on the phone and it is perfectly formed for your iPhone.
To do this, I enabled the iPhone Plugin from Content Robot.
Works a treat and even though the browser support in iPhone is awesome, this little plugin works a treat and really improves the user experience.
The next in my Cisco Mind Maps is the Mind Map for the Cisco Lifecycle Services. Now, this is only really applicable to those of you who work for a Cisco partner.
With the updated Cisco partner program, they have introduced the Lifecycle Services exam into each job role, for all the specializations.
I had the pleasure of sitting the Lifecycle Services exam, 646-058, for the Advanced Routing and Switching specialization last week. Happy to say I passed it, but found it quite a challenge as it is more project management based than my usual technical exams.
The Lifecycle Services are Cisco’s model for engagement with a customer right through the implementation and optimization stage. The Services Model consists of six main phases. These are:
- Prepare
- Plan
- Design
- Implement
- Operate
- Optimize
They make up the PPDIOO Model that is used throughout the Lifecycle Services Model.
Please have a look at the Mind Map and as usual, comments are welcome.
