Free Security+ Flashcards: Interactive SY0-701 Study Cards
Security+ SY0-701 buries a lot of pure memorization inside a scenario-driven exam - ports, attack-type names, crypto use cases, the incident-response order. Flashcards are the fastest way to make that recall automatic so you can focus on the judgment questions. Below is a free interactive deck you can flip, shuffle, and self-test with right now - then a way to build your own cards from the questions you actually get wrong.
Sample Security+ SY0-701 flashcards (interactive version loads with JavaScript):
- HTTPS port? 443 (TCP).
- SSH / SFTP port? 22 (TCP).
- DNS ports? 53 - UDP for queries, TCP for zone transfers.
- RDP port? 3389 (TCP).
- LDAP vs LDAPS? 389 (LDAP) and 636 (LDAPS).
- RADIUS ports? 1812 authentication, 1813 accounting (UDP).
- Incident response order? Preparation → Detection & Analysis → Containment → Eradication → Recovery → Lessons Learned.
- Symmetric vs asymmetric? Symmetric = fast bulk encryption, shared key (AES). Asymmetric = key exchange + digital signatures (RSA/ECC).
- Hashing vs encryption? Hashing = one-way, integrity (SHA-256). Encryption = reversible with a key, confidentiality.
- What is AAA? Authentication, Authorization, Accounting.
- Phishing vs vishing vs smishing? Email vs voice call vs SMS text.
- On-path attack (formerly MITM)? Attacker secretly relays or alters traffic between two parties.

Why build your own cards instead of downloading a deck
A generic 500-card deck makes you grind through cards you already know to find the few you don't. The cards that move your score are the ones tied to what you missed. That's the idea behind FigigExams' study cards:
- Made from real explanations. Highlight any part of an Explanation or Exam Tip during a practice exam and save it as a card, anchored to the exact question.
- Spaced repetition built in. Hard cards come back sooner; mastered cards fade out.
- Mastery tracking. Totals, mastered, and due-today at a glance, with a focused board view for drilling.
- Synced everywhere. Study on a laptop, review on your phone - your deck follows you.
How it works
- Start a free Security+ practice exam - the code above auto-applies after sign-up.
- Highlight what you want to remember in any Explanation or Exam Tip; it becomes a two-sided card.
- Review on your schedule from the My Cards page - flip, rate, and let spaced repetition surface the ones you keep missing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Security+ flashcards free?
Yes. The interactive sample deck above is free to flip, shuffle, and self-test with - no account, no credit card. To build and save your own SY0-701 cards from real exam explanations with spaced repetition, create a free account; a paid pack ($18) unlocks unlimited cards.
What should I make Security+ flashcards for?
The memorization-heavy pieces: ports and protocols, attack-type definitions, cryptography use cases, and the incident-response order. These are pure recall and appear throughout SY0-701. Scenario and "best response" questions are better trained with full practice exams.
Which ports do I need to memorize for Security+?
Commonly tested: HTTPS 443, SSH/SFTP 22, DNS 53, RDP 3389, SMTP 25 (submission 587), IMAPS 993, POP3S 995, LDAP 389 / LDAPS 636, SNMP 161/162, Kerberos 88, SMB 445, and RADIUS 1812/1813. The sample deck drills several of them.
How is this different from Quizlet or Anki?
Where the cards come from. Instead of a generic static deck, FigigExams turns the actual explanations and exam tips from your practice exams into cards - each tied to a concept you personally missed, with spaced repetition and mastery tracking. The deck above is a free sample.
