I’ve recently been going through the Cisco Cyberops NetAcademy course as part of a TAFE unit I am doing at the moment. While working through the e-learning I took a bunch of notes, and then over the weekend I turned them into an Anki deck to help me prepare for the final exam. I’m actually unsure if I’ll bother with the certification exam, but this seemed like a more useful and reusable way to prepare than just reading and writing private notes.
For those unfamiliar with it, Anki is an Open Source flash card application available at https://apps.ankiweb.net/ — there are clients available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and smart phones. To use these flash cards, import them into an Anki deck using the “import file” button at the bottom of the main screen. This is a common approach to study for certification exams, especially those which are rote learning heavy like Cyberops Associate is.
The deck content is hosted as a github repository at https://github.com/mikalstill/anki-cbrops, and I’d prefer bug fixes and other requests over there. For convenience, there is a file containing all of the notes available for download here.
The majority of these questions were created by taking my notes from the Cisco NetAcademy course for Cisco Cyberops Associate and turning them into questions and answers. There is however some amount of difference between the content of the official certification guide and the NetAcademy course, and I’ve included things covered by the guide and not the e-learning course as best as I can.
Feedback welcome!
