I've yet to talk to someone on here who holds the OSWP certification but I'd definitely would like to hear reviews about that course. I'll also second that it's a shame that they're both not really recognized in the industry because I hear both are damn good and provide you with a lot of knowledge...[Neo fix the name of the thread, you have the OSC & OSWP Certification]

I am thinking about doing the online Pentesting with Backtrack course and possibly going after OSCP certification.   I wish I was able to do the live classroom training, but I don't think my boss will pay for it.   Does anyone know what the maintenance is like for the certification?   Is it the usual 40 hours of CPEs per year, or are you required to re-certify periodically?

Thanks, but I can't seem to find the maintenance information.   Does anyone know if you have to re-certify periodically like an IT Vendor cert, or is it CPEs you have to maintain like most security certs?

Thank you much!

i wish i am in ur place man , i am really happy for u congratulations, i am soon going to take both the exams and be with you guys, so hows life after finishing the exam ...

the first and really better benefit of Backtrack 4 is

how to patch wireless drivers for RT8187 chipset wifi cards to inject in Backtrack 4 beta this how to was done at late night it was too late if some spelling mistakes can be

today just i was playing with Backtrack 4 beta ,then i tried to check that if my wireless cardwas able to inject for testing WEP ,i tried with the default drivers in Bt4 but it was not working and unable to inject using its default drivers, so then i took few minutes to patch the injection drivers and thaught to make small how to so that it will be easy for others

1)ifconfig wlan0 down 
2)rmmod r8187 rtl8187 2>/dev/null
3)wget http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
4)unzip rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip
5)cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/
6)wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187_2.6.27.patch
7)tar xzf drv.tar.gz
8)tar xzf stack.tar.gz
9)patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.27.patch
10)make

here when running make command if u get compiling erros like below 

“asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory” compile error message  (this is bcz of kernel mismatch for this drivers so for this u should edit the r8187.h

nano rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006/beta-8187/r8187.h
go to lien 46,47
! see for
#include <asm/io.h>
#include <asm/semaphore.h>
and overwrite lines 46,47 to this….
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19))
#include <asm/io.h>
#include <asm/semaphore.h>
#else
#include <linux/io.h>
#include <linux/semaphore.h>
#endifafter saving run make command now

11)make install
now reboot the system and type
12)iwconfig then u will see wlan0 has ur interface
13)airmon-ng start wlan0   (for monitor mode)
14)aireplay-ng -9 wlan0   (testing if ur card is injection or no)
the result should look this
4:15:20  Trying broadcast probe requests…
14:15:20  Injection is working!
14:15:21  Found 1 AP
14:15:21  Trying directed probe requests…
