Re: CEH and Intense School

[<jvfields () tds net>]

The answer depends largely upon what you want out of it, and what your current level of knowledge is.  

As an introductory course that will give you a good idea of the breadth of things you need to learn to do professional 
testing, it is a good course.  As training for the CEH, it is a great course.  These are especially true if you have 
some knowledge, but want to know what areas to concentrate on.

This course will NOT make you a "hacker."  Being a hacker has a lot to do with personal interest, inclination, desire, 
and hard work.  But it will help you learn to be a "professional hacker", in the sense that you will learn things about 
how to be thorough, and how to do it as a business.
