Hi..
Is it not the voilation of NDA to acknowledge that some vendors of the
illicit material are "dead on" and that too from a cisco rep?

If it is so and they know it then why proclaim it...

If I was really interested in protecting the sanctity of the lab, I
would make a set of tasks that would be compatible with each other so
that I can mix and match the tasks in a given lab and therefore make
each lab unique

this way if a test is leaked you can trace it to the one who actually
broke the NDA by leaking it.

lets suppose there are 10 sections in a lab with 3 sub sections each
lets say we have two possible questions for each subsection then we can
have
2^10 = 1073741824 combinations of tasks
with 7 test centers testing 6 candidates 7*6= 42 unique sets a day
 42*5=210 unique tests a week and 210*52=10920 unique sets for a year

Six months of such pattern and the illicit lab business will be on their
knees with people getting "DE CERTIFIED" due to trace back.

Now there Will be people who do it for the money and don't care if they
are debarred from certification .. But then with so many unique
combinations their will be no "Dead ons"

Disclaimer..Its just an idea..I have NO experience of making a lab and
don't know if such a format could be made.
Would be so much better if it could happen.
