Excellent Webinar, thanks. Look forward to the next.

I appreciate the feedback, I will be signing up this week, I will also grab a Python book.

Thank you

I am considering taking this course to complement my current qualifications (CCNA Security, GCIA, GCIH), however I have a few questions that I am hoping someone can help with.

What do I need to provide, can I use a VM or do I need to have a dedicated system, and do I need to use a specific version of Backtrack or is one provided/recommended?

I am confident about my networking (TCP/IP) skills and my Linux skills are reasonable (can navigate, manipulate files, users, groups, permissions, daemons etc) but scripting is something I have not done a lot of, is this a requirement for the course, if so which scripting language would best reward the time investment? I do understand programming, I write assembly (Z80 and MC68K) to a reasonable standard, but aside from a (very) small amount of C I have not used any high level scripting languages.

Any answers/advice would be welcome.

Thanks.
