A clearer leaderboard and a limited voice test
The latest Security+ update makes the leaderboard easier to read and puts firm limits around early voice practice.
The top three stand out
First, second, and third place now appear above the full list so the leaders are easy to spot.
You control whether your name appears
The public board is still optional. Your display name stays hidden until you choose to join.
Voice practice has clear limits
Early testers can see how much voice time they have left. A session stops when that time is used. Paid plans are not live yet.
The board works better on phones
Long names, badges, and scores fit without pushing the page sideways.
The lab is easier to share from a phone
The Study Lab and change page are easier to use on a phone. Class links and the sample questions are easier to find.
Easier to find from the home screen
The home screen now links to the Study Lab and this change page.
Simple ways to share with a class
The Study Lab now has a QR code, the public starter, class files, and presentation slides in one place.
A five-question example
The lab shows how to make a small set of original questions before creating a larger study set.
Better phone layout
Long labels and cards now fit the screen without making the page slide sideways.
A live app and a clean public starter
The live app keeps its full study material private. The public starter includes a small example that people can copy and fill with their own allowed material.
Added the Hecz Study Lab
The Study Lab explains the live app, the public starter, class files, presentation slides, and how to add your own questions.
Question uploads stay off in the live app
The public starter can accept your own study set. The live app keeps that upload turned off.
Updated the public starter
The public starter does not include the private question bank. It shows people how to create study material they are allowed to use.
Added class materials
The lab now includes a handout, a short guide, presentation slides, question examples, and a class pack template.
Duels are clearer and easier to follow
Compete now explains the rules before play and requires both players to advance between rounds.
Added a rules preview
Players see the question count, timer, speed scoring, and round pacing before the first question.
Both players move on together
A duel no longer jumps straight to the next question. Both players answer and choose Next before the next round starts.
The rules stay visible
Invite and quick-match flows make the selected question count and timer visible so both sides know the rules.
The public starter is easier to understand
The public page now makes it clear what is included, what stays private, and how to build your own study set.
Added product previews
The public page now shows what the app looks like instead of only describing it.
Explained what is public
The public version is a starter. It does not copy or share the private question bank.
Cleaned up the public credits
Public material now stays focused on the Hecz project and how to use it.
More ways to study one topic at a time
Focused practice pages now help you work through the Security+ topics that are easy to mix up.
Learn the OSI layers
Review the seven layers, match them to their jobs, then test yourself with a short quiz.
Practice ports, controls, and cryptography
Each topic has a quick reference, a matching drill, and questions pulled from the study bank.
Spot attacks from the clues
A new practice page covers phishing, malware, web attacks, password attacks, and the signs that give them away.
