Just because a domain has the word book and .com in it doesn’t mean it's an
American book company :P this was a domain I bought to host my sixth form
leavers book six months ago.

Is there a reason you are posting from a US based book company if you are
based in Cornwall?

Kind regards
Stuart

Hi list,
I am seeking the best way to get into a pentesting role in 4/5 years
time
(or more/less)
I was looking for advice from you as to what qualifications are best or
more
recognised (unfortunately the former doesn't often mean the latter),
and
also how to gain any sort of recognisable experience which would help
me
progress to attain such a role.

I am currently 18, have completed my A-Levels (B Maths and BC double
award
ICT) and achieved Ciscos ITE1 and ITE2 plus done my CCNA 1 - 4 although
my
certification exam isn't until next month. I have been accepted to
Birmingham City university (formerly University at the Center of
England)
for a deferred year (start sept 09) for the Computer Networks and
Security
course.

I am situated in Cornwall, UK saving up to offset my student loan
(hopefully
I won't have to use one).

Thanks for any help as I really really want to get into this industry
and
sort of job.

Regards,
Daniel Hewitt
