Booking a date for the exam and then counting down the days, was really difficult for me to do. So, after the last group session on Thursday, I thought this would be a good time for me to test my knowledge. So yesterday I booked the exam for this afternoon and by the grace of the GOD and knowledge shared by everyone in this group and prayers of my family, I was able to successfully get through this exam. The journey was really challenging but I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support. Special shoutout to @Josh Botz @Vincent Primiani @Clifford Jenkins @S M @M B @Sara M@Asad Anwer @Deepu Thomas

Happy to share that I passed the exam yesterday. Thank you everyone in the group. You guys have been really helpful and the discussion in the group has been key to cover relevant ground. Wishing all the very best who is planning to take the exam. Just go for it.

In the image shown here, what does system B send to system A at step 2 of the three-way TCP handshake?

I mentioned Chaos Monkey in today's study group as we were discussing fuzzing. This is not fuzzing exactly, but is similar to a stress-test in order to validate application resilience. Netflix deploys this in production, and it randomly kills services or entire VMs to emphasize to their engineers how critical resiliency is to them. Pretty amazing!

**Scenario:** During a penetration test, your team successfully exploits a vulnerability and gains unauthorized access to a critical system. What should be the next step? A) Report the findings to management immediately B) Continue testing to identify more vulnerabilities C) Document the vulnerability and start remediation D) Notify the system owner to take immediate action
