The best certification is GCIH from SANS..only cost
factor...does any one know about any scholarships or
sponsership available for doing this certification

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.

About CEH v.5, all i can say is except a lot of
"self study" added, there is nothing much improved
in it. 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 as
a 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.
