I know books are great, but what do you think of the current giveaway?

I will take your advice and hit up packtpub. Just keep in mind that the giveaways are usually scheduled months in advance.

BTW - Thanks for the vote of confidence,
Don

If anyone can get it done, it would be Don

If I yet have to refer to wiki or ask people around, thn why you calling it a mentor class?? Don't you think people on forums like backtrack and linuxquestions or here in fact are FAR more capable of responding and giving you a faster feedback?? In my experience, Yes

So what am I paying for? Wiki? Well there are enough books and content available online and offline that I can access which would be much more detailed thn the wiki. I had access to the wiki, and I know there is nothing on it that would make me like, wow I don't have to check out anything else!! Infact its more of a list of things to refer in most cases...

Again I am not saying the content is bad or Tom does not have knowledge, I am just saying, what is being said about the class as Mentor based Class is not what it is. That's all. And that is infact what turns me off. As without that, its just watching some video and figuring things out on your own, heck why pay for it then???

If it works out for you great, but if you are looking for help from the mentor, Tom needs to rework his attitude and strategies to make it really what it should be..

I have been a web developer for 3 years now and am considering a career in security seriously.

My first degree is in computer science and I am considering taking a graduate degree in Info Security.

I came across WGU (Western Governors University) and their offering seems ok.

Has anybody gone through or has any info on WGU?
Is it actually the best route towards my security career?
Are there other pre-requisites necessary for my security career?
Do i go for a broad masters degree and do certs in security?

Please i need all your candid advice and opinions to enable me take a good decision.

Please i am only interested in online courses.

Thank you soo much!!!
