Ethical Hacking Discussions and Related Certifications / OSCP - Offensive Security Certified Professional / Re: Time required for the PWB online course?

Thanks. It does help. I'm just trying to make sure what I'm asking for from my management is feasible. Maybe I can get them to include some lab time in it, but I guess we'll see. So do you get your own lab you can work on whenever you can or do you have a set of problems where you need to start a scenario and finish it in that same time frame. My free time comes and goes sporadically and it would be much better if I started something and didn't have to have it reset every time I exited it. I might have to see if I can find some more definitive info on the Internet. I'm a little worried my lack of any programming is going to hurt me a lot in this though..

Ethical Hacking Discussions and Related Certifications / OSCP - Offensive Security Certified Professional / Time required for the PWB online course?

I have been thinking of taking the PWB course for a while, but I haven't had the time to consider it. My manager keeps asking if there is any training we would like and I wanted to bring up the PWB course, but I'm not sure how to bring it up since it's pretty much learn on your own.
I was thinking of asking for the course and a certain amount of time away from the office to work on it like it would be for a course in a different city, but from all that I've read I still can't figure out how much time that would be.
Is this type of thing a bad idea for this course? What else would you guys suggest instead?

By "that area", he was talking generically about Security. Unfortunately the role hasn't really been defined since no one in management around here takes security seriously in the least and when I point things out I am normally told to stop being so paranoid or an alarmist or asked why I like to try to make things difficult for everyone. (I was told this most recently when they told me to make it so our wireless was open [and by open I mean no security at all] so people could use their iPads and I pushed back.) Since our company has recently had a big push towards taking our business to the web, that has changed a bit.
I guess my first impressions I got from looking at the course got me thinking it was for someone with no security or networking knowledge at all. I think seeing "Network Concepts" being listed as the first thing scared me off a bit.
My current job role here is fairly wide spread. I do a lot of Windows networking \ AD, VMWare, Cisco Routers, Switches, ASA. The only thing around here I don't touch at all is the SAN. I don't have an official job role with security, but it's been a small side role for me since I got here.

Ethical Hacking Discussions and Related Certifications / Security / SANS course question \ recommendation

My boss has mentioned that we have some funds available for training and since I'm the most security minded one of our group asked if I'd be interested in some more training in that area. He has taken some SANS classes in the past and said I should look into it. I received the E-mail for the Security 401 course and while it looks good, I'm worried it might be a bit too broad or I'd go in already knowing a lot of if not most of the stuff in the course.
If anyone has taken these types of courses, how in depth do they go into these concepts? Is there much or any hands on? If anyone has any recommendations on other courses to look at, I'd love to hear that as well.

Ethical Hacking Discussions and Related Certifications / General Certification / Question for anyone that has taken CCNA recently
|

I am looking to take the CCNA exam within the next couple of months. I thought about taking the CCENT and then the other that gets you the CCNA, but now I think I am just going to take the "bigger" test.
Anyway, I am reading through some of the information and going through some of the CBTs and they all mention the sdm as a method to configure the routers. Is the SDM actually tested? If so, is there an option to drop to the command line? I have absolutely no interest in using the SDM since all it really does is enter in commands for you. That just seems really backwards to me.
Anyway, I just wanted to get some input from someone that has taken the new test since the cisco guys at work all took the CCNA before the last test revamp. Thanks!

I don't know if it's just my area or maybe it's just with the people I've dealt with, but I've put it on my resumes and during most interviews I have people ask me what it is. That tells me that it's meaningless to have it if no one knows what it is.  After browsing this forum and the rest of the site some more today I was actually thinking about looking into the CISSP again. I think when I was looking at it before I didn't meet the requirements for the CISSP, but I did for the SSCP so I went with the SSCP instead. Right now, I am really trying to figure out how to make the jump to a more security related job. I have always had a huge interest in the security field and I'm having a hard time coming up with a plan to move more into that field. Maybe the CISSP would help me there too.
