good job!

how is the exam? ( i am considering doing it one day). as for needing a low-rent EH-hacker, i'll call you if i need one.

Sorry, been away for a while.
THe exam took me by suprise a little. I used the "EXAMPREP" book to study for the test and had some outdated training videos. I was able to get around the requirement for the boot camp since I am involved with network security at work.
As for the test itself, I can only recommend that you have a strong grasp on TCP/IP and I was suprised at the amount of questions that require that you know web application attacks. (SQL injection, cross site scripting, etc) I also had a tough time with questions that had to do with log files and what an attack would look like to an admin. Everything else was pretty much straight forward questions regarding multiple choice.
I had some mixed thoughts about the C|EH exam. I should have gave it a bit more respect because for some reason I kept thinking that I was studying to the level of "script kiddie" as the exam training seems to be based around all the open source tools on the Internet.
That was until I took the exam and they really got into command line syntax and net apps attack code. I wasn't ready for it and it almost caused me to fail the test. If you have a strong knowledge of attacking web applications and get the concepts and tools they are teaching you should do well on the test.
Just a little about my background, I've been in the IT industry over 15 years, most of it working as a sys admin for the US Army, the last several years I have been doing patch management and vulnerability testing. I am security+,Network+, CCNA certified and now C|EH.
I don't think I could have passed this test prior to getting the CCNA. I don't think it's a prerequisite but you really need to have a strong grasp on TCP/IP, TCP/UDP ports, TCP/UDP/ICMP flags and headers.
Hope that helps.
