The SANS reading room had some stuff on BS7799 last I checked. You
could check the same too. Too lazy to hunt around and post the URL,
but it would probably be easy to find. Also, it is probably only for
registered users of SANS, i forget...

why would you encourage this person to misrepresent their knowledge
levels by providing such information?

Well, if they study, then they aren't mis-representing their knowledge
level -- they are expanding their knowledge level.

No?

Eh? how does wanting to learn something involve misrepresentation? I
was simply looking for a good resource, And if your problem is with my
motives for learing 7799 then ask yourself why anyone would want to
learn it if not for professional advancement..

BS7799 isn't something you learn or understand overnight merely by
reading a copy of the standard.

This person has obviously never dealt with the standards and
overstated their qualifications. They are now scrambling to know the
right "buzz words" so they can bullshit their way through an interview
the should never have been granted in the first place...

Read his original post, dim wit. He's already been granted the
interview on the pretense he knows the material and now has to learn
something about the topic he said he knew so he doesn't look like the
liar he is.

As stated in your very clever and witty reply to the original question
several days ago. You've made your point Jimbo, now go back to sleep.

He says nothing of the sort, he says he has an interview and wants to
learn something about it. Sounds like good preparation to me. And
anyway it's not for you to judge is it, if he wants to learn it who
are you to accuse him of lying?
