BillV - I am using just the book, not the courseware.

Jhaddix - Thank you for the suggestions.  I am going for V5.  I liked the readability of the Official Study Guide by Graves, but I felt it lacked the depth.  I am really getting into the Career Academy videos.  It feels comfortable.

The Michael Gregg book keeps on coming up for recommendations.  Unfortunately it's not on Books24x7, so work will have to buy it unless someone in my department has it.  At least I have Gregg's Hacking The Stack, which appears to be a very good book.

I also need to go back to the library (county and college) they may have it!
Edit: It's an ebook available from my college library.  My company loves it when I save them money.

Thanks!

I passed my Net+ awhile ago.  I had motivation because I was in a basic networking class which I hated, mainly because the "know-it-all" kept on correcting the teacher (but being wrong himself didn't stop him) or making comments left and right.  The teacher told us if we pass Net+ we will get an automatic A.  I left class after the break and started studying.  I used the Sybex book and loved it.  This is when I fell in love with Sybex.  I used it for Sec+ and now for CEH.  I also used ExamSavers for the practice test.

Good luck!

I just finished the official CEH book and I am looking to complete a video series and a second book in addition to running my own lab.  What video series and books do you recommend in addition to the official book?  I've read some of the reviews about video training and books, but wanted to hear from the every day geeks and not just those who have the motivation to write a review.

I don't want to waste my companies money on training that won't work.  I borrowed my co-workers CBT nuggets, but after two sections I am not liking the instructor.  One of my main pet peeves is that I do not agree with him when he says all ethical hackers are gray hat, because even as a white had there comes a point where you need to test an exploit on someone elses system.  That's bull.  Setup a lab, find someone hosting a test network, or get permission.  Plus he also comes across as a cheesy used car salesman.

So, let's hear it?  What videos and books should I consider?
