Great job r0ckm4n, you're right there. What are you going to work on during the next month?

@hanyhasan - The videos and PDF's cover a lot, but because of the 'adaptive' nature of pentesting, there is expectation that not everything in the exam is going to be a 'cut and dry' example of something that was directly covered by the courseware, leaving the student to use their intuition and research skills to find answers, much like a live, real-world pentest would.

@r0ckm4n - keep trying, keep studying, keep working at it.  Pass or fail, as impelse noted, you're learning.  Experience, in this field, comes painfully, sometimes, but it's well worth the effort, and shows your determination and dedication.

Wishing you luck on the next (and hopefully final) attempt! 

Hard luck , never give up and i was only scared from taking CCIE " from Cisco "  . I read the subject from the beginning and let me asking you why there is no support from the trainer or does the material " Videos & PDF " not covering those attacks . The CCIE exam is about troubleshoot the network and more you practice to solve the network issues the faster you can solve the exam and pass but the material does cover the exam objective . Hard luck again & sorry i talked about Cisco here  . Forget about my English every 1 

If you see you are becoming a serius pentester, you keep rooting those boxes in the lab, you attempt to hack 5 servers in 24 hours, with a lot of pressure specially coming from the time frame of the exam and from yourself, normally in a pentest you do not have those shorts time (5 servers in 24 hours, LOL).

So if you can hack in those circumstances in the exam how is the real pentest?, sure you will be able to hack them and outside the box, without automatic expensive tools (I am not saying you will not use them).

At the end you are wining and wining every time to attempt the exam, it is not lost, it will pay off.
