Key mnemonics to know?
Hi,

I realize I may have asked my question incorrectly the other day - so let me ask it correctly this time.

What are the essential mnemonics that need to be memorized for the exam?

For example:

Database: ACID

OSI Model: PDNTSPA

DoD Model: ATIN

Threat Modelling: STRIDE

Bug Tracking: DREAD

Incident Reponse Process Steps: DRMRRRL

Capability Maturity Model: IRDMO

Evidence must be: ACACA

FAGAN: POPIRF

Forensic Investigation Process: IPCEAPD

PenTest Methodology: PIVER

BCP (ISC2): Project Scope & Plan, BIA, Continuity Plan, Approval & Implementation

BIA: IRLIR

Attack Methodology: RFFVA

Risk Responses: RATARD

NIST Risk Management Framework: CSIAAM

Working through the Sybex, ISC and Boson prep exams has driven me down this path - as
they ask these types of questions...what happens when in the process...even in some of Larry
Greenblatt videos the order of events is discussed to determine the 'best' answer...

Great list you got there, i see where you going with it.

Beside a typo error ( Incident Reponse Process Steps: DRMRRRL ), cant contribute much.

I couldn't find the explanation of this two:

1. Evidence must be: ACACA

2. Forensic Investigation Process: IPCEAPD

Thank you.

Evidence must be

Authentic,
Complete,
Admissible,
Convincing,
Accurate

Forensic Investigation Process:

Identification
Preservation
Collection
Examination
Analysis
Presentation
Decision

All the Sybex, ISC, Boson prep exam questions drill down into the various stages of these
processes, what happens where and when - hence me trying to get a grip on the steps and
thus the mnemonics.

But there is so much to memorize...

Thank you , I use the same approach . Nevertheless it is has some limits . For instance Incident
Reponse Process Steps: DRMRRRL . I prefer to memorize Det Res Rep Rec Rem Les When you
have multiple R in your memo and if they ask in which sequence they come ...

Thank you very much for the share and the list. Can you clarify the following. PIVER, RFFVA, and
RATARD.
