I am actually in John's class (504). Great course and material. Oh yeah, and
John is pretty good too.
I highly recommend it.

SANS has some work-study options that you can check in to for a reduced
rate
on training. As others have said it's some of the best training you can
get.

GIAC certifications are not to be taken lightly and are worth every
penny.
GIAC and SANS have spent prodigious effort to make their courses and
certifications some of the most highly regarded in the industry. For
example, the GSEC security certification is now second only to the CISSP
as
one of the most desirable OpSec certifications you can get.

And you have to work for them. You won't find study guides or brain
dumps.
You are able to take the exam without a course, but you better be really
good. And don't forget, you will have to re-certify in 4 years.

For cost savings, check the Self-Study packages.

And, no, I don't work for them.

Hi folks

I wish to pass the "GIAC Certified UNIX Security Administrator GCUX"
exam.

But sadly this is a rip-off

- SEC 506: Securing Linux/Unix $3,396
- GIAC GCUX Certification Attempt $499
- OnDemand Bundle $399

Didn't find a study guide on Amazon. How to prepare for and take the exam
with no more than $900 costs? Any book with similar topics like the exam
objectives?

cheers Sven
