Struggling with CompTIA Security+ exam questions?
You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through a couple of questions you might see on the Security+ SY0-701 exam that test your knowledge of how to improve back-end scalability, and how a pentester moves within a network after compromising a server.
I’ll break down the right answers and explain why each option works or doesn’t. By the end, you’ll know how to recognize similar patterns in your own exam. If you’re getting ready for Security+, this is for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
