Thank you for suggestion.
can you show some good resource for TCP/IP?

Hi friends,
   This is BreakTheSec,   i have decided to take the OSCP course(90day Lab+cert+course).

First of all, i will explain about my skills:
**I am good in programming concepts( I love to do);c,java,php,Assembly , currently learning python  .
** Have basic knowledge in Ethical hacking concepts.
** Password cracking with Backtrack (developed own cracker with java)
**Now i am learning Reverse Engg. and Exploitation writing.
**I love linux than the f*** windows.
** worked with virutalbox.
** but i don't have strong knowledge in tcp/ip except the theory knowledge(have read in college)
** I am fresher(no cert, no job   )..
**.....

Everyone said OSCP  is hard to achieve; i read some review from "experts".  Everyone said that having basic knowledge about the linux and programming is enough to take the course.  But OffSec mentioned that should have strong knowledge in TCP/IP.

I am going to take the course on April only.  In between this gap, i like to learn everything that required to take the course. (I like to pass the exam in first attempt. )

is the skills what i have is enough as a pre-requisites?

I have many questions. You should ask yourself whenever you got these type of message(to protect from spam mails):
----
How they contact you? mail?
Did you check the mail address?
is it legitimate mail?
Did you search about the company in google search with
"company_name review"
or
"Company_Name fraud" or "Company_Name cheat"
...

Attackers also send these type of message and try to get confidential data(Social Engineering).

If you really want to find vulnerabilities, hire any legitimate company.

Try "make clean generic" instead.

thank u LK . I have basic knowledge about web server(worked with apache and tomcat ). I think i have enough knowledge about os also.  I'm also interested to learn more and more.

I know certification alone not going to help me. But i like to know what certification companies expects from us.   
For instance, some companies expects java certified persons.

 

 I have finished B.E ,fresher.  i am searching for a job.  I am well in programming languages (also i have developed small pentesting app in java).

I  have lot of interest in ethical hacking and Penetration testing.

Which certification is worth to learn?( more jobs)

How can i find the ethical hackers /pentesters job in net? (i searched , most of them are in abroad).

Please answer me.  I am confused.
   

Hi EH Members, i am new here..! I like to work as Ethical Hacker/Security Professionals(i know basics of Ethical hacking).

Anyone know best CEH institute in Bangalore?

Note: Please suggest me good institute which can offer good placement service for ethical hacking(I want job rather than the certificate).
