Keep in mind penetration testing is just a small component in the process of Information Security, if you're interested in a career as a security professional, learn policies, system administration, network administration, architecture design, just to name a few. No one can claim to be a good penetration tester without being good at least 3 or 4 other categories if not all of them. Being a security professional IMHO is the hardest specialty in Information Technology, you have to be good in almost every aspect of IT, but an expert at none.

I have been reading the archives for the past three days and I would like know where could I find a list of penetration testing companies that give summer jobs and or internship positions in the U.S. so I may
gain more experience in the field during my college years. Also, I would like to
know
if there are any courses in particular that I should take in Computer Science to become a penetration tester. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
