Congratulations, Shakuni!

Again...Thanks Bill! 

Thanks Bill!   

If you haven't already, you should look into whether or not your current degree and work experience would provide you with credits toward the BS.

Free tuition? If it were me, I'd probably go for it - still building InfoSec skills while earning the CompSci degree.  Can you also work there while earning your degree? 

Hey dva, looks like we'll be classmates!

kcirtap, have you decided to join us in this round?  To answer one of your questions, I'll be funding this myself, as I do with most of my training.  Usually, I do self-study, as it's what I can afford.  But, with this type of tool, instructor-led is the best route - for me, so it was worth it to sign up.

CONGRATULATIONS! on passing your CEH exam and, GOOD LUCK! on taking your CHFI today 

This is great!  I'd heard about it, but hadn't gotten around to checking it out. 

Well, i did it.  Signed up for the class starting on the 16th.  So, this next week will be spent going through linuxcommand.org (again) and finishing up Hacking Exposed, as prep.  I'm going for the extended lab time, as I want as much practice as I can get before attempting the challenge.

I've no doubt that my number of posts to this forum will go up significantly during this process.  You lot are too good a resource to pass up. 

Woo! I'm a little nervous, as this will be my entry into Ethical Hacking.  But, I'm very excited about the course!

Thanks, I've marked them on my calendar.

Wow, ok thanks for the most helpful responses!  Maybe I won't wait until the end of Summer, after all.  I'll be starting on my Master's degree program and want to give this course the attention it obviously will deserve.

You all have gotten me really excited about it.

Thank you!

Hey Everybody,

First, I'd llke to say "Hello", as I'm new to the boards and this is my first post. 

I'm really interested in checking out this cert, but have a question regarding the knowledge of Linux - how much is enough? 

I have the networking background, but am only just now starting to learn to work with Linux, but was hoping to take this course by late Summer.  Will I be in over my head with only a basic Linux foundation?

oh, and CONGRATULATIONS! to those that have passed.
