Sweet! I´ve talked with Mr. Wilhelm and he was really nice with me, I´m eager to start with all the stuff.

So when my book arrives I´ll start to taking classes from him.

Certification regarding for now I´ll be fine with the security+ to take a solid theory foundation and then I´ll try to get as much "hands on" education is possible (hackingdojo + elearnsecurity + offensive security) and then I´ll see what are my options

Thank you all for your replies! Warm regards

Hi chrisj, thanks for your reply! As for the study guides, there isn´t anything good in Spanish, I´ve already purchased "Comptia Security+: get certified get ahead" because many people swears by it.

Also I understand english a lot better that I can express myself in it so I think that it won´t be a problem for me if I´m prepared enough.

I´ve take a look of your book suggestions and they all seems quite interesting, one of them (the first one in your list) is from the creator of the hacking dojo, Mr. Thomas Wilhelm so I´m guessing again that it would be really cool to learn directly from him.

For now I´m decided to study the Comptia Security+ in order to get a basic understanding of a broad range of areas. My next step will find a good mentor/program that starts assuming 0 knowledge in order to be combined with the security+ certification.

For now I´m considering:

- eLearnsecurity: the student program has not been realeased yet but it seems that they´re doing really well in the pro package.

- OSCP: it seemed really cool the very first time I see it but also it seems that some previous knowledge is required in order to not get lost.

- Hackingdojo/heorot.net: I´ve seen some very nice reviews from it, I don´t know which are the minimum requirements but the first program at Hackingdojo seems to fit me well. I´ve sended a MP to the owner already.

If there is some other webpage/program with an instructor I´ll be glad to know.

Thank you a lot guys!

Hi!

Thanks for your replies guys, I really appreciate your help. So, it seems then that I´ll be fine beginning with the Security+ certification. I think that the exam is only in english so I´ll have to be extra-careful with that subjective questions.

As for the OSCP, won´t it be too much for me now? I´ve read that people are now taking the eCPPT from elearningsecurity. It seems that they are realesing a student course now so maybe it will be nice to start with that one and then take the OSCP which seems quite interesting from what I´ve read.

Any thoughs?

Regards and thank you again for your help ^^

Hi there!

First of all I must clarify that I´m from Spain so English is not my native language, sorry for all my little grammar mistakes 

Nowadays I´m working as a System Administrator but I actually don´t have that much knowledge in networks.

Also I´m studying a computer degree in university and I´m really interested in the field of security.

Next semester I will have networks fundamentals, object oriented programming fundamentals and assembler fundamentals so I think it will be quite interesting for me.

I wass guessing what will be the best way to start in this security world. I know there is a lot of certifications out there and one of the most reccomended to start is Security+ from Comptia from which I´ve gathered good material.

But I was also thinking about something more technical too, where I can try all the learned techniques and have some "fun" experimenting. I´ve read about the hacking dojo and the owner seems to be a very legit and capable guy, and the fee doesn´t seem abusive to me.

I´ve also taking a look at the CEH certificaction but it seems more a bunch of script kiddies tools. In the other hand, having a real mentor that can guide seems to be really helpful.

So, what do you think? Will be it ok to compaginate both or it will be better to start with the security+ and then move forward? I am afraid that I get bored learning too much technical stuff so I hope that I can fulfill the requirements in the hacking dojo.

Thank you a lot and sorry for my mistakes again, I´m trying really hard to learn english!

Regards!
