While I go through InfoSec Institute's Ethical Hacking package, I found ENSA is a prerequisite. Do I need to complete ENSA to take CEH/CPT? Also when went through CEH's pre-requisite, it said like I need to take their training program to attempt CEH. Will taking the above InfoSec's packge be the same as attending ECC's training for CEH? The option is to challenge CEH without training, but need to have 2 years of experience in Info Sec, which I don't have.

Hi

I have 6+ years of exp in Microsoft development & have Masters in Computer Science. I would like to change my track to ethical hacking. Where do I need to start with? Can someone post list of certifications to be taken in the order (like foundation, basic, intermediate & advance). As far Microsoft, they MCP -> MCAD/MCPD -> MCA -> MCM in order starting from developer to Master. Is there something like that here?

 I would like to be a Pen tester/reverse engineer and having years of experience, I would like to be an independent consultant.
