RE: Opinion about CEH

["Jason" <securitux () gmail com>]

The CISSP dazzles the management eyes, for sure, but its not that great. It
is more of a management type exam, FAR from technical or detail oriented.
Very different from the CEH or most GIAC certs. I am doing it now and am not
learning much, that's for sure. When I started in security, I already knew
what a lock was for :)

Of all the certs in the industry, I prefer the SANS GIAC certs. At least
when they were making you do practicals.

I would not say that CEH is useless.  I took the CEH last year and thought
the course was OK.  I think the only reason the course was good was the
instructor.

Now I think that if I was paying for these, I would put it into the CISSP.
I had a horrible CISSP instructor, but "CISSP" looks better than "CEH".
Most people do not know what CEH even is, and those who do, have little
respect for it.
