No sometimes about it, it's always about checkboxes. At least that gets you
in the door you have to walk the talk nowadays with budgets so tight... But
that's good I feel the mediocre are being pushed out.

I'd recommend PWB v3 (OSCP) over CEH any day. Much more useful information
and knowledge.

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).
