Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been asked before (and if this is posted in the wrong thread) but I am seeking advice on how to get into a career in Pen. testing and IT security. I am based in the UK and have been a Java developer for the last 2.5 years after leaving university. However security is where my interest lies and I would like to get into this sector. My question is how? I have looked at many job adverts for pen. testers however they all require people with 1 years+ experience in the field. Should I pursue a certification such as the CEH first? Or are there other ways? Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rahul
