p.s. Don count me in next time ( ha aha)!

Nice intro Yatz.

Stick around you're knowledge can certainly contribute to this forum.

Welcome,

Greetz, Dutchie

if you mean ISC2, well my CISSP cert does expired but commonly there are 2 options. First option retake the examen or second during a period of three years to get sufficient CPE-points.

my opinion about expired certificates, well I would say, I would mention the effort of getting the certificate on my resume. I would not publicly, on business cards or behind my name, add the cert to my name because I think that I would not be entitled to.

 hi Diamonddrago,

Pitty you've missed it!!

I'm currently in the final phase of my preparations for the CEH exam.

Do you want some advice, just PM me. Going through those books once again is not an option and I think it is not effective, given your score!

Cheer up, give it another try.

Greetz.

Thx Hayabusa for the extended step by step tutorial.

It worked well at myside!!!

Thanks Hayabusa!!

It think the cause was the soundcard. I disabled the soundcard and the floppy disk in my VM settings and it works without issues and the response time is acceptable!!  Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Another question: does anyone know a good tutorial for installing VM tools within Backtrack?  The tutorial from the backtrack-forum is to general for me!!

on first instance I've downloaded the appliance but It did not gave me a normal reponse time, So I've installed it from an ISO with the install method provided within Backtrack (install.sh-file). The installation results in no issues.

But after a boot from the new created virtual machine the response time was exactly the same as the appliance. I've archived the virtual machine on my harddisk of the PC. I asigned to the Backtrack VM 8 gb of harddisk and 1 Gb of RAM (that should be more than sufficient to run properly).

I do not understand why I have so long reponse times! To open firefox it takes more than a minute!!

Anyone suggestions......

Who has experience with 4 Backtrack in VMware? I want to set up a lab for preparing for the examen.

So I have recently downloaded an appliance with Backtrack 4. I'm using Workstation 6.5 and the virtual machines on an external hard drive. Backtrack 4 was very slow this way! I thought it was that the concerned the appliance vm file was split into 10 files.

So I personally Backtrack installed in a virtual machine and placed on the hard drive of my PC. VM tools I have not installed and 1GB of RAM allocated to backtrack.
Despite Backtrack very slow to respond, eg opening the Web browser takes more than 1 minute!

This is not normal. If I install Backtrack on a USB stick then everything works normally. What am I doing wrong in VMware?
My other virtual machines, server 2000, XP, Win 7, etc work without problems and with less RAM assigned. So I assume that VMware Workstation is not the only way of installing BackTrack 4 in VM-ware!

Does anyone have any experience with? Can anyone tell me how I can solve!

Thanks for thinking along!

At the EC-Council website http://www.eccouncil.org/certification/certified_ethical_hacker.aspx

I found this information concerning an indication of costs:

10. I would like to provide professional service as a CEH professional. What can I expect to be paid per assignment?

The remuneration per assignment will vary with specifics of the client environment. However, on an average you can expect to be paid around $15,000 to $ 45,000 per assignment.

I do not know in how realistic this information is but there is an big gap with  your guess!!! For consultancy work a fee of $500 a day isn't that "high".

All,

I think it is a good habit on forums like this, to give a brief introduction of yourself.

I have been registered in January and have since even posted some questions / thoughts. So far I have mainly used the forum to gather information about CEH. What are the objectives, what are the recommended literature and if the course is hands-on. In short, I did some reconnaisance and footprinting on the examen(objectives) of CEH (hi hi).

Last Friday I passed the CWSP exam from the CWNP. From today I can fully focus myself on preparing the CEH exam. Yesterday I ordered the necessary books. I will follow the path of self-study! Besides the literature, I want make use of CBT-lessons. I wonder if anyone has this experience? What order you to, and importantly, what order you not to!

I'm looking forward to make the necessary knowledge for the CEH exam my own. I think it could be a good addition to my other certificates, all related to risk and security management. I hope that during my preparation time and beyond, I may use the knowledge and experience of the other members of this forum.

I do want to thank already everyone in advance for sharing their knowledge and experience with me.

Well I only have experience with VM in combination with Backtrack. The PCI card within Backtrack virtual does not work. After investigating the forum of Backtrack, I found a confirmation that Backtrack only works with USB-adaptars.

So It seems VM OS or VM distro dependent if the PCI-card is working!!

I suppose you are working wireless!!

Well VMware does not work on the build-in radio adaptar!!  You have to use a USB-adaptar or plug your device on a CAT5

The examen voucher for the CWSP of CWNP are until end of April half price.

I'm going to sit for the CWSP next week!

Also the website of the CWNP is upgraded. Currently it contains a daily question to test your knowledge of wireless security!! Great! Check this  :oout!!
