Simon,
I've heard from a bunch of R&S guys that the Security lab has a lot of
overlap with the R&S exam. Since the R&S is still kind of fresh in my head,
I figure this is a good time. Those guys you know who failed security, have
they attempted and/or passed the R&S, or were they new to the lab? I know I
got my butt handed to me my first attempt, just didn't know what to study.
Are there any good Security practice lab books, like the Solie book for the
R&S?
