#question are there any colleges / high schools that do placement exams for computer science?

Honest: So, the end of Mr. Robot season 1 sucked. Does it get better?

Half-full: Cinematography and actors do a good job of portraying a mental break.

Should I be worried that I keep noticing typos and some formatting errors in my current study guide?

The previous version had some weird definitions, but it never missed on the grammar.

This current iteration did, however, come to its senses about what constitutes an 'insider threat,' and correctly label it as an intentional threat actor or accidental n00b.

Interesting stance to a study guide question, in that, a ransomware attack "... was the result of a new employee ...," and the "vulnerability" was "Untrained User" and not "Insider Threat."

I see a way to delineate between the two but one still encompasses the other.

Quality humor in my CompTIA Sec+ Study Guide:

"... comparing ports and ports ... [similar to] the old joke about the meaning of 'secure.' The Secretary of Defense directed members of different services to 'secure that building.'
- Navy personnel turned off the lights and locked the doors.
- The Army occupied the building and ensured no one could enter.
- The Marines attacked it, captured it, and set up defenses to hold it
- The Air Force secured a two-year lease with an option to buy."

#question: is there a term / keyword for the functions a compiler builds around the source code I've written? Simple example would be that my 'void main(){printf("ellowurds");}' is being referenced from within a '__main(){ ... }' in the GCC compiled executable.

Any course correction from software people would be greatly appreciated! This is me coming back up for air from ISO and GCC documentation.
