  Hiho,

I have gone through the eh course and I still do not feel like I can really understand how to pen test.

The problem you have is not one of exploits but one of getting a bad
education.  The EH course you took apparently did not prepare you for
ethical hacking or even to approach testing outside the tools and exploits
they showcased.  That's a scam if they didn't make clear that the class
wasn't a show and shoot tools class. And you should be unhappy about that.

  The course may have been bad, but:  Everyone who believes to be hacker
  or penetration tester after taking a class of an EH course, is either
  a fool or being fooled:
           You cannot learn to be a pentester in five days.
  But I agree that a good course at least gives you the outline how to
  become one. The rest is learning by doing and doing it again.

  Cheers,

  Christine Kronberg.
