I can talk about CEH in Mexico, it was really disappointed, beginning with the teacher who just double click exe exploits without even know the meaning. I think the CEH material is good but it is a lot of information for just 1 week, and the certification exam is related just to about 130 questions, i mean it is not hands on exam. But if you want to hack in a live lab where the final certification exam consist to fulfill 5 challenges .... real hack and want to learn how to create a buffer overflow from scratch, so on, you should take a look at offensive-security.com - Security 101 course. But if you are newbie in security field, CEH is right for you. On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 3:54 PM, J5 <lifeisnotamalfunction () googlemail com> wrote:
I will be rounding up my first year as a security analyst soon and my company has offered to send me to a CEH course taught by Dan Garfield and it is held by IT Training Solutions. This is the new v6 course. I feel very comfortable with locating vulnerabilities on the network and exploitation methodologies. I do penetration testing on my job, but it is a very small part of my daily activities. I see many tools listed in the description that I just haven't had the time to go hands on with.... and some I use extensively. I would like to ask anyone who has attended one of these 5 day courses to reply with their experiences. I am looking for a lab based environment to experiment with tools I haven't had the opportunity to use. I am already ingrained with CIA, AAA & management aspects of infosec as well as the 'anatomy of an attack.' I want to get to the nitty gritty and not have the same vague overview I get all the time. I really want to spend a solid week focusing on improving my toolkit. Do you feel like this course would be beneficial to me or should I hold off for something else. (SANS, Foundstone, etc)
