If you really wanna start understanding how to PenTest you should
forget CEH its for script kiddies, you MUST try - From BackTrack
Creators!!! Offensive-Security Courses.

CEH teach you how to use tools but Offensive Security 101 course teach
you how to think like a hacker developing your own scripts or
exploits, and isc2 gives 40 CPE's for that course. Is excellent, and
the certification is called OCSP - Offensive Security Certified
Professional (you can get it after passing a 24 hour real hacking
test).

Check it out:

Good day all,

I know this is not really a tech-pentest question however I wanted to get some feed back as to what certs/skill set 
one need to acquire in order to break into the pentest/information assurance/computer forensics job market.

I am a about to graduate with my BA in computer system next semester, and I am tring to get into a security related 
field, I did very little vul-testing/pentesting for friends, or on a few work servers and wifi network.

And that was very interesting, but with so many certs and paths out there I wanted to know which ones you guys took 
so I can get an idea.

Thanks in advance.
