Hi Guys,

Thanks for that, the classroom fees are looking a little bit out of my
budget as iv owned three cars that together cost less.
I guess I have to start somewhere and im in a job at the moment where it
may be helpful.

So im going to go self study and see can i get it done in a month or two.

Thanks,
Pat

Hi,

Im seriously thinking of doing the CEH exams and was hope there is
someone
here who can answer a question or two.



It's worth noting that CEH teaches damn near nothing about ethics, and the
name implies that those of us that don't possess it are by definition,
unethical. (see Jack's rant on that one).

For the most part, it teaches you to be a 'tools regurgitor' - showing you
how to do things, but not why they work the way they do.

In short, CEH is a great cert to look for on a resume when you''re looking
for people that can do particular repeatable work within Infosec - as an
indication of creative, critical analysis skills within the field however,
much less so.

(or basically, if you want a guy to run the companies internal vuln scans,
it's great - but I wouldn't hire an incident response guy on the strength
of a CEH).
