Although, as was mentioned in a thread here a bit back, many hotels are using MAC addresses as the basis for authenticating folks on their wireless networks.
That is very hard to believe. Attend a security conference or a monthly ISSA meeting and ask members there if they have at least heard of the CEH. I'd be incredibly surprised if they say no.
I find that a bit hard to swallow as well. Look around at a few security publications, conferences, etc... and see what letters folks have stuck on the end of their name. I think you'll see CEH crop up rather alot.
The moral lesson here is that you take the time and effort to practice and learn the materials well for any given cert test in order for you to perform better at your job or just simply gain new skill sets.
Exactly so. If you *just* braindump it, you might as well not do it at all.
The CEH, like most any other cert, has a full range of holders from idiot to genius. As several others have mentioned, this is an entry level cert that is marketed very well. The article mentioned is now three years old and the state of the cert has changed quite a bit in that time. You can praise or damn most anything.
