CCSA Certification

I’ve heard from several people that the software on the CD included with the book crashes after question 16. I went through my publisher, but didn’t hear anything, so I called Exam Force directly. I was put in touch with Robert Poe, the Customer Service Manager.

He told me that Exam Force was aware of the problem almost immediately, and issued a fix. From the File menu, there should be an Update option, which will download the fixes and some newer questions. He also encouraged people to email him (poe at examforce dot com) if there were further problems.

Kudos to Exam Force for being on top of this one.

A sharp eyed reader pointed out the following:

Page 22: firewalls should be singular, ie firewall
Page 130: Missing the word “user”: If the traffic is not one of those four, or is specified as Any Service, then you can’t use user authentication.

Page 72, Figure 4.1 - “Fragments”, not “Fragements”
Page 101, Figure 6.1 - “Offset = 500″, not “Offset = 5000″
Page 150, first paragraph - “The inbound kernel notices the destination port of 10001″, not “The inbound kernel notices the source port of 10001″

On the flip side of the last correction, I see the blurb above the picture of the firewall is incorrect. It should read “10.0.0.8 100.0.0.8″.

I missed this one in the final review. If I ever do a book again, I’ll be sure to use IP addresses that aren’t so similar

Table 8.2, rows 5 and 6 should be ‘i’ and ‘I’ respectively for the fw monitor inspection point column, not the other way around.

Please send any other errata to me at sean at ccsacertification dot com. I’ve been asked to submit a list of any errors by July 21, 2005 so that they can be fixed in the next printing. All errata will still be posted here.

This section will hold postings related to any errata to the book.

If you believe you have found an error, you can contact me at “sean”, on the domain “ccsacertification.com”.

Thanks
