The best certification is GCIH from SANS..only cost factor...does any one know about any scholarships or sponsership available for doing this certification --- Francois Yang <francois.y () gmail com> wrote:
Or you can go for the OPST from OSSTMM which requires a lab exam to pass. it won't make you leet, but it will teach you some good basics. Like all the other hacking or security classes, you can learn all that stuff on your own.

What have they really done? You expect a candidate to learn all that in 5 days? Also, if you are aware of a lesser known certification H3X from a body called 'orchidseven', i feel, most of CEH is flicked from it. Moreover, it takes a LAB exam to clear the H3X certification and feel its more better (my personal opinion only).As far as industry is concerned, CEH is viewed asa course of 'script kiddies'. Every other kid who knows how to run Nessus claims to be a 'pen tester' and ethical hacker. If you just want another tag, clear it by reading dumps available from actualtests.com... but if you want to "stay" in job, you have to do it hands-on on your own.
