RE: CEH Course - Your thoughts?

["David Harley" <david.a.harley () gmail com>]

I don't think CISSP is what the original poster is actually looking for:
it's not exactly hands-on. Besides, a year's experience isn't enough to meet
the (ISC)2 requirements. I'd suggest one of the SANS certs, if the budget
allows.
