true enough. then theres the cost of traveling to the event, hotel fees, ect.

Thanks on the grats guys! I received an e-mail just now with some clarification, they stated the following:


Just wanted to keep everyone up-to-date. When this updates in a couple months, I bet it's going to be even better and modern. Vivek's WLan Security Primer is superb material. I've watched a couple videos from the series.

If you get a chance, grab Hacking Exposed: Wireless. I like that book, that's awesome, I started reading it after the OSWP. I was learning more, but had to stop (work / life came in to play). I want to get back to it.

Hello E-H!

Just wanted to keep everyone up-to-date with my progress! I officially was enrolled into OSWP on the 18th, and went through the course within a couple of days. The course isn't nearly as lengthy as PWB. A couple days later I actually sent in challenge request date which happened to be today and I already took my OSWP certification exam. I was able to successfully obtain all the keys and have sent in my results, just awaiting official decision right now.

Had a blast in the class! My aunt loaned me her router, I've had an Alfa card for a couple years now. I had always used point-n-click tools to break into my AP, but now can successfully say I've dabbled in the command-line arts for getting my wifu on. I felt the class really gave a good introduction to the aircrack-ng suite and I may possibly leave a review of it here shortly. Some may think between the amount of time I enrolled versus when I scheduled my exam was pretty quick (less than 1 week of being enrolled in the course), but I actually dedicated a lot of time breaking into my router with various configurations, and wrote down well over 5 pages of notes! It's tons of practice, practice, practice! I definitely picked up on a good amount it makes me wonder how this course stacks up against SANS GAWN course.

Wow this actually covers from stuff i am going through right now.

I am scheduled for the CISA in Dec. I wanted to complete a cert in the mean time by end of Oct. then study for the CISA. As I just completed the GPEN, I am up in the air as to if i should do the GWAPT or the OSCP.

P.S. I am also going back to school for my masters in Jan. I will be talking web app development which may compliment the GWAPT

Should i do my OSCP now. then cisa and Gwapt in jan or should i do the gwapt then CISA and OSCP
