It looks like they are offering www.careeracademy.com training.

The CCNA security with CEH under the same price it's very interesting.

I always considered this kind of the communication with the client A GOOD PRACTICE, so there is not surprice for them.

That's good.

 How do you charge by hours or by complete job?

I always had the same question, you guys that work in pen testing, do you work normally by contract or permanent? Are you normally a consultant?

I tested from my office and showed me just the open ports, so I tested from my home again and I got all the ports open, so I decided to upgrade therouter's firmware for the Linksys WTR54GS and after that I can not ping outside, jajajajajaj, it was to late so I couldn't complete a test with the nmap, because told me to use the -PN switch.

Now, I have to figure out why I can not ping outside, I did not setup any policy.

I am using nmap with BackTrack 4 Beta, I am just experimenting a little bit, just to be familiar with it.

Its a web server with CentOS and there is not firewall there. Let me see another machine (but all of them are CentOS).

But my question is: the command and the parameter is ok?

I am running a scan to a computer in internet and show me a looooooot of ports, and I know that it is not normall and that the all ports they are not open, I checked google but I could not find anything, somebody mention that probably is the firewall:

nmap -sS -sV -PO 192.168.1.1

Shows a lot of ports unknown and tcpwarpped, just want to see the open ports not the all the existing ports list.

But if I run the same command in a local computer shows me the really open ports.

What is worng? is it my firewall or I am mising another parameter?

I always had the same question, which to do first OSCP or CEH, I understand that CEH is an entry level and the OSCP is a practical leve, but normally what do you take first?

If I was you I would try to do a normall IT job, like Network Administrator, Network Engineer, Field Tech, etc, etc.

I do not know your exp but they normally look for if you have exp with different system (OS, network devices, etc) and if you know them well, after you know how the technology works, you will able to hack them (that's the way how many people think before hire you).

This is my 2 cents

Thanks.

Yes, I am doing the same, just for the moment I am reading a book called Penetration Tester Open Source Toolkit Vol 2 during the time that I wait for the V6 in Amazon.

Do you have others books that you recommend me to read.

I am reading just to begin to get some knowledge, I am working toward to MCSA and later MCSE (I already got Security+, CCNA and 70-290).

Thanks.

That's a short time, ver fast, congratulation, normally takes for me 2 month for exam self study without going to any class.

Congrats.

How long did you study? What kind of material did you use?

Do you have exp with pen testing?

Do you buy the official courseware for CEH or you go to Amazon and buy many books for CEH.

I know that for the V6 there is not any book yet in Amazon, but normally how do you do?

Congrats.

The CISSP is one of my goals,
