RE: How to get into Penetration testing?

["Tony" <rzalski () ivolution ca>]

I have seen the CEH Material and I agree with the assessment of the course.
Some sections were missing a lot of information that even a book would fill
you in on.

I have done the Penetration Testing course through iVOLUTION Technologies
and found it very complete. It covers a LOT of the tools and resources any
security tester would need.  The courseware was well presented and thorough,
lots of hands on labs. They also do 'capture the flag' competitions.

My 2 cents.

I Did a pen testing course, i didnt do the CEH, but i did the Mile2 CPTS.


i found the basic difference when i researched and asked around was the CEH
course seems to be very outdated.


if you want to start off on pen testing something like mile2's course would
be a good start, coupled with some checkpoint exposure you cant really go
wrong!
