Re: CEH Course - Your thoughts?

Dear All,

I cleared CEH two years, but my impression about this exam is that it
is worth to do this certification if you get hands on experience, to
actually run tools and exploit some vulnerabilities (such as Buffer
overflow, XSS etc) otherwise just attending a training and answering
some 150 questions is just a waste of time and money.
IMHO i would rather suggest SANS certification.
