Thanks for the update Grendel. I just signed up for the 1R course. Can't wait to start.

Will we have access to any of the materials prior to 1/1?

Thanks.

I started with the System Security module. Mostly because of the Cryptography and Malware sections. I must say the cryptography section is very interesting. I haven't made my way through the entire section yet as I have to balance studying for my 70-642 exam, which is scheduled for 11/1.

Well, I took the leap and purchased the elearnsecurity course. I have just started it and have only gone through a few of the modules so far. It seems very informative. I look forward to going through each of the modules and learning all of the material.

  Thanks all for the replies.

I do and did understand that we were talking about two different courses. My initial reason for posting was to get feedback on learnsecurityonline.com as I had read about that site in another post but was wondering why I didn't see any updated content on their site.

Impelse then updated with elearnsecurity.com. So I investigated that one also. I did email Armando yesterday and received a response already. They are in the middle of finishing their Student course and should be done by October.

I was looking for an introduction to Pen Testing with labs (preferably) at a reasonable price.

Thanks again.

Thanks Kris, it's good to be here.

And thanks for the email address. I am going to email them for additional information. I do understand that it is meant for a beginner to medium, and that's fine because that is the level I am at anyways. I am currently studying for the 70-642 exam, and just want something extra to play with until I am done and I can move onto CEH or OCSP.

In another forum topic, xXxKrisxXx made reference to a site called Learn Security Online:

'If your looking to go a cheaper route and want to get your hands dirty for a cheap price, Learn Security Online has a beginners course called  "So You Wanna Be A Pentester". For $300 and access to the LSO lab environment to test your skills, this one's a steal.'

Here is the site for reference: http://www.learnsecurityonline.com/index.php

I was browsing around on this site today and couldn't really fine anything recently posted as far as this class goes, nor could I find an email address to ask questions of them.

To the best of your knowledge, is this still an active site? If so, have any of you used this site and would you recommend it? I am looking to get my feet wet in the Ethical Hacking/Pen Testing realm and would like some feedback on this site, or another if you know of.

Thank you in advance,
