Gregory,

Take a look into the SANS course taught by Ed Skoudis.  I took his class
several months ago and it is a great primer class for you to get your feet
wet.  Also take a look at the FoundStone classes on ethical hacking.  I've
never been to one, but I've gotten quite a bit of good feedback from those
that have attended.  You'll also want to pick up a copy of Hacking Exposed
for a good desk reference.  Good luck.

My Two Cents,

Hi all,

I am looking at getting some training to start my official journey down =
the path as a Security Penetration Tester - and was wondering about the =
views on taking the Intense School's CEH boot Camp. Has anyone on/from the

background is predominantly Windows, but I am fairly functional with Linux.
I am more interested in online courses right now though only because I am =
currently involved in some projects that require me to be available for my
office = over the next couple of months. Any constructive feedback is more
than = welcome.
Thanks
