Some certs are more highly regarded than others, from what I've seen the CEH isn't very high on the list. When I took the CEH exam last year (yes I passed) it was very dated, maybe back to 1999-2000 time frame. Their official study book was near impossible to read as it had so may grammar errors, I'm glad the book was lent to me. I don't recommend the book or the exam. I took the exam as it was a prerequisite for another course.
Read, study and practice. Certs are paper and knowledge is power. Mike Cort Boecking wrote:

Don't go in for CEH. If you're looking for a good certification I'd suggest OSPA and OSPT instead of CEH. http://www.isecom.org/projects/opsa.shtml http://www.isecom.org/projects/opst.shtml Cheers :) --- Milind Nanal <Milind_Nanal () kaleconsultants com> wrote:Hi list....I need your appreciable advice, I´m thinking to take the certification CEH ( Certified Ethical Hacking) by my account, someone would recommend to me some books, links, tips or anything that can help me to pass the exam.Regards, MilindKishore Penetration Tester Smart Security 17/1,Upstairs,Sarojini St, T.Nagar , Chennai - 600 017 Phone: 91 98841 80767____________________________________________________________________________________Cheap talk?
