Thanks to all the participants. The information provided here is really helpful for the new comers into this field of information security. I knew about EC-Council for some time. I Could not take CEH course as it's quite expensive (6,299.00 MYR). I found Mile2 when i started looking for other similar training companies whose prices are almost half of EC's. When i compare the syllabus , it's the same. Then i went for Mile2's CPTE course and passed the exam(even though it's a little bit harder). My experience is that the videos from Mile2 are very good and Mile2 is quite established worldwide. The explanation in the videos is very clear not only from the tools perspective but also from the technical explanation point of view of the same. I learned all the stuff with the latest Backtrack 5 and i watch the videos regularly and they are updated quite frequently. So far, i have no regrets.
