I was initially thinking of signing up for 30 days of labs, but after reading some other posts, I signed up for 60 days.

Thanks

Right, so I received my welcome e-mail today. It contains links to the VM & videos, as well as a Lab Guide.

The note from the authors section of the Lab Guide really impressed me. I have not gone into the details of the lab guide yet, but for those who do not read the notes from authors (I do that always), do not miss this one. I can only imagine how the rest of the material will be.

The course begins tomorrow. 

I have not looked at exploit-db.com of late. Apologize if I spread the wrong message.

Knowing the concepts of programming and learning one language certainly helps you move to another language quicker.
In Uni, our studies were focussed around C++. However that didn't stop me from writing a script in Perl to automate patch anaylsis in Solaris. I then moved to PHP (non-security related) and now am trying to understand Python.
So the bottom line is that, learn the language that you are and then its easier to move to another language by understanding their syntax.

You will notice that majority of exploits are developed in C.
Ruby is used to code exploits for Metasploit.
Any scripting language like Ruby, Perl, Python will help you automate few tasks.

Nice find. If they cover more than what is on metasploit unleashed its gonna be a good buy.

Thanks Chrisj. I will try to update you guys as much as possible.

Test lab connectivity was sucessful.
I will begin the course on 10th of July.

Thanks for the excellent share.

When I studied for the CEH v5, I didnt spend more than 1 calendar month. This included my daily routine work, etc.

I have had past experience in the industry so that helped me breeze through majority of the lessons.

sorted by mailing them.
Now I am testing the connectivity to the lab. The last time I faced an issue with this and hence did not go through with the course.
Fingers crossed!

I have completed my C|EH and always wanted to do the OSCP. It seems more exciting.


Good luck to you as well.

I am still waiting to hear back from the team. Should I re-register? Been approximately 4 days.

Welcome to the site. I have been a regular visitor here, but signed up recently.

With regards to CEH, I would advice you to get a good testing lab and practice the tools. I am sure your real life experience will give you an edge over some others at the training. CEH does provide with exposure to different types of attacks and their countermeasures, but a bit of self study will be needed to get some in-depth knowledge.

thanks jordy.

Just waiting to hear back from them. it's been 2 days now!

Thanks for the info. Never tested it before, but kept hearing about it. Will have a go at the PHP static code analyzer against some of my code.
