Ok, so you're saying that I should really only target the class and not go for any 'certificates' associated with SnortCP or SSFSNORT?

Cc: Joel Esler (jesler); snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort Network Admin Training / Certification Bradley, I am glad that you asked. At all cost avoid the Cisco's exam 500-280 SSFSNORT (which to my understanding is equivalent to SnortCP which used to be offered by SourceFire). Why you ask? Well I took the exam to renew my SnortCP which expired in May. I passed the 500-280 SSFSNORT exam, and Cisco's Tracking System explicitly says that I am "Certified" and I was told by a trainer (on different occasion) that there is a certificate. Only after the fact I learned that this is only an exam "to validate skills". So if you lose the report that gets immediately generated when you complete the exam, there is no way you can prove that you are certified. To make things even worse, exam 500-285 SSFIPS (exam for the commercial product) is the same, no certification whatsoever. I opened a ticket with Cisco, which resulted to dead end. There are other annoying details that I will spare you from. In my humble opinion, Cisco is underestimating both exams, and hence underestimating the products themselves and the people who spend time, effort, and money ($250) per exam. If I knew before hand, then I would have not set the exam.
