Re: Online training for pentest and forensics

[Kim Guldberg <kim () bufferzone dk>]

PWB and the resulting cert is and is not really just a course. Typically
the 950,- $ will buy you the course material and 2 month of lab time.
Some time is spend on the course part, but most of the time is spent
trying harder, studying and experimenting to solve challenges.
A fairly well versed IT security guy will spend around 450 hours during
the 2 month of lab time. You can buy extension month if you need them.

The reason this training is so good and valuable is the time you spent,
the frustration you meed, the challenges you struggle to get through.
If you treat it like a course and spent a minimum of time, you will fail
the cert and not get enough out of the potential

TRY HARDER
