You should seriously check Security 101 from BackTrack guys!!!!!
You said its risky but think about ISC2, CORE IMPACT and SAINT who has
support this excellent certification.

Finally its a hands on cert, you will learn how to create exploits nor
only use security tools like CEH!!!!

Cheers!!!!

Hi List

  What would be a good certification for a newcomer to start a career in
  InfoSec? I've heard of CEH/ECSA/LPT but then I haven't had great
  review about it from the list. The place where we are SANS doesn't
  offer any course around. SANS Pen-Test course although is available on
  demand, it costs $3500 which is well too much for guys in my
  country... I've heard of something from Back Track guys.. looks
  promising... but risky too at the same time...

  what certification would be most rewarding to get a good job?

  Looking forward to your replies.

  Thanks
