Do you guys know any good way to remember all the port numbers and protocols needed for the sec plus exam do we really use them all the time in the real world?

Yup. By using them. Examine pcaps, setup services on open source stuff. Get your hands dirty. That way it sticks instead of memorizing and forgetting them after the exam. If you’re tactical by any means you will see them constantly in true positive and false positive alerts in the SOC; and troubleshooting in engineering.

Totally agree with you. I got into FAANG mostly on portfolio. These newer folk to the field today didn’t know how hard it was in the 90’s and early 2000’s just to experiment. I ended up having to make a business just to get the partner subscription from MS (action pack) because I couldn’t afford MSDN

It’s been so long I don’t even remember what ports were asked for lol. Protocols I also can’t remember what was there but at least knowing what those are has practical use in the real world. Try to memorize the ports/protocs by cardinality of the port number, or alphabetically. Will be easier to work through when forgetting something.

And you may need them in the real world but absolutely zero need to memorize them in the real world. I’ve never been in a case where I’m on a computer looking at logs, saw a port I didn’t recognize/remember, and then have no way of looking it up.

That plus them being more of a”default” port is something I wish the s+ actually dealt with. Sure ssh is 22 by default but when someone throws it on port 1212 you’re in the same spot as someone who just didn’t memorize that ssh is port 22.

Also unless they changed it, you’ll also want to focus on encryption and hashing there was a ton on block size and how many bits etc. on the more easier end, picking encryption algos out of hashing ones in a multiple choice.

But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated
