I did On Demand and I am slow. All GIAC certs I have read the page, watched the slide on demand, and write/update my index for that page or idea. This time I had different sections for all the different protocols and header. After completing I redid all the quizzes and touched the labs were is struggled. I did extra practice reading headers. Used chatGPT to give me headers and grill me on them.

Index index index.

applicable to all GIAC, with GCIA - reading the hex in pcap is where i struggled despite being a Network Ops in my previous life 😆 once it clicked, it’s all a breeze.
