I think Valdis's point was valid. Why the sarcastic comments? (And what's
with the mustache wax comment?)

CISSP's cant hack

Right, because the CISSP isn't about hacking. It's about risk
management. It's about balancing the cost of adding more security to a
system against the costs of an intrusion.  It's about the costs of
testing a disaster recovery plan, and the costs of not having a plan.
It's about what sort of backup schedule you should have, and what the
retention period on the backups should be, and why.  It's about knowing
how deep a background check you should make on prospective employees.
It's about how much security awareness training the users need.

Hacking is a *very small* part of the security world.
