I’m Fadi Sodah (aka madunix), and I’m an IT Director. I’ve been in the IT realm for over twenty-six years and have held a variety of
positions. I worked as a networks engineer, systems engineer and security engineer and I was among the Top 100 Hall of Fame
HackTheBox. I’m an active member of Experts-Exchange (EE) since 2004. I have been awarded the Most Valuable Expert (EE MVE) in
2019. You can find me on Experts-Exchange (EE), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, Discord and Twitter @madunix. I hold certifications in
many areas of the IT field such as networking, systems, audit, IoT, AI and security: PCCSA, PCNSA, PCNSE, CCNP, CCIP, CISA, CISSP,
CFR, CSC, ACE, CIoTSP, CAIP, CISM, eJPT, CyberSafe, SCSC, KCSP, KCTP, OCIF, OADCS, ADCI and ICATE.
To benefit others with the knowledge and experienced I gained during my study term, I have summarized the main underlying concepts
in a general overview. I am hoping this consolidation of core concepts and processes would benefit those interested in becoming security
experts.
This document intends to be supplementary, not a replacement for officially published study guides and books. I may have added
multiple definitions of the same process or procedure due to the varying definitions from different resources such as the Official CBK,
Sybex, NIST publications, SANS papers, or the AIO Shon Harris books. If you encounter any conflicts, please refer to the latest Official
books CISSP CBK, AIO and Sybex. Being a CISSP candidate, you should fully understand CISSP concepts, methodologies and their
implementations within the organization.
The CISSP exam is designed to test your presence of mind, knowledge, experience, concept and hardworking.
 Use Sybex as a baseline for your study
 In case of misconception keep referring to CBK CISSP book and index
 Review the notes from Sunflower powered by Nick Gill
 Review CISSP Process Guide powered by madunix
 Review Memory Palace CISSP Notes powered by Prashant
 If you study by yourself, you will always see your material from the same perspective; I recommend to choose a study group
telegram and discord.
 Review NIST publication
 Check CISSP references www.isc2.org/Certifications/References
 Measure your progress through quizzes and practice exams, be aware don’t go by the score try to fill your gaps
 Keep checking the (ESG) Elite Security Groups

Do not try any shortcut when it comes to reading books and gaining knowledge. This quick reference should be utilized as a fast recap of
security concepts. It’s essential that you read Official CISSP books first and then use these notes to get a recap of what you have
learned. I wish you good luck for the CISSP exam.
