Boson Tests border on Unethical [7:26639]
I too recently passed my written CCIE. I would go so far to say that the Boson tests push the limits in terms of ethical test preparation. I would say there were approximately five questions on the practice exams that were right out of the Cisco test. Most of these questions were worded almost exactly the same as they were in the CCIE written and the material they touched on was pretty esoteric.

Is the NLI CCIE Lab package worth $650? [7:26653]
I am in the process of studying for my lab and I was wondering if the Network Learning Inc. (http://www.ccbootcamp.com) CCIE Lab Package was worth the $650 price tag. In my opinion, $650 can buy a lot of other preparatory material. However, if it is essential, I will gladly pony up the money. Any feedback from recent CCIEs who used the materials would be much appreciated. Also, for those of you who are also studying like crazy, I'm sure you're book purchases have gotten out of hand. Here are a couple of sites I recommend for buying discounted books where you can usually get 30-40% off of retail prices: www.pricescan.com This will compare a number of different book suppliers. www.bookpool.comIn my experience, these guys have the cheapest Cisco books www.walmart.com Yes, surprisingly enough, Wal-Mart is a great resource for cheap books www.bamm.comBooksamillion offers some great deals. It is usually worth it to buy their $5 discount membership fee. You really only need to check Pricescan and Wal-Mart because Pricescan covers both Bookpool and BAMM.

RE: CCIE written questions [7:28862]
Let's be realistic here: If this guy had a memory good enough to remember all these questions, he would not have failed the exam. He obviously cheated and wrote the questions down during the test. ...or maybe he had a spy camera in his lapel? The sad thing is that he is tempting a lot of hard-working people on this list who are earnestly trying to LEARN the material for the exam.

RE: Securing passwords [7:23876]
I believe you have the two confused. Type 7 passwords use a simple two-way encryption algorithm called Vigenere cipher that can be cracked with any number of decryption programs available on the Internet. Type 5 uses a much more secure one-way MD5 hash. Without a super computer, it is almost impossible to crack a type 5 password. This is why is so important to use an "enable secret" password instead of an "enable password" password.
