hahaha. I did a search a few minutes ago to see if this was announced already here before I posted mine. You beat me as I was writing my post.

Vivek, the creator of the Megaprimer, has started a really affordable certification course in wireless called - SecurityTube Wi-Fi Security Expert (SWSE).

I think this a great and currently at the promo price of $200 this is awesome! I just registered.

This includes:

- Lifetime access to the Students Portal
- Lifetime access to Bi-Monthly Webinars with Full Course Coverage and Live Doubt Clearing sessions
- Lifetime access to Q&A forums
- PDF copy of Slides, Cheat Sheets and 12+ hours of HD Videos
- Lifetime access to all future course updates
- Mock exams 2 weeks before the certification exam
- Final Certification exam

Thanks for posting this here my friends!

Yes, I did not want anything "hidden" from people who are paying money and if the certification is of no use to you and you only want to watch the videos to learn security and hacking, please do so by all means

Also, SecurityTube's vision of providing free education will never be compromised! Releasing the certifications just help us churn out fresh and better content faster on the site as well. I am hoping, these certifications will have the same affect on SecurityTube, as Rapid7 did on Metasploit we get funded and can devote full time to the community!

The next series will be Metasploit Megaprimer Season 2 with module programming, meterpreter scripting etc.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions ... most welcome!

Hi,

I admint that I didn't see all the wifi videos in the website.

My question is how is this cert different from the OSWP? I already did OSWP, and I would like to see more than WEP and WPA. I want to see some bluetooth, something about mobile phones...

I think WAP and Bluetooth are a whole ball of wax on their own. You can find some info in Hacking Exposed- Wireless and there are a few sites that deal mostly with mobile phone security. Other than it being cheaper than OSWP, I don't think it will be very much different (comparing the syllabuses).

Alucian, if you have watched the MEGAPRIMER, can you tell us if all the attacks used were in the OSWP course?

Thank you for the answer.
Congrats for the book, I didn't know you have one.

About the study methods, I like the books but I prefer the practical certs. Unfortunately there are not enough practical certs. Yes, the offsec ones, eLearnsecurity, and few others, but the rest are just books.

I would love to see certs that cover the same curricula like SANS, for example, but the exam to be hands on only. It is possible: forensic, incident handling... Maybe not online, but it is possible.

Congrats Vivek for the cert. I followed some of your Metasploit videos and I really liked them. Because I have done OSWP I will skip the wifi cert, but when you'll have another one put me on the list.

Until then I hope that I will finish GWAPT and OSCP, at least

PS Maybe someone starts a new topic with a practical course/cert they will like to take/pass (at a decent price), and some of the senior members will come with a solution. As an example Vivek has wireless and maybe Metasploit; Jason and Ryan can create one where they’ll test your scripting skills. Maybe will not be very appreciated by the HR, but we will appreciate the ones certified. Also, when someone will be in a hiring position will be able to differentiate between two candidates.

I am doing certs for few reasons:
1. You learn something
2. I am lazy and I need a deadline in order to motivate me to work harder
2. They are good in the resume. The HR people and the pimps (recruiters) love them

Vivek:

You read my mind, I was thinking some training to specialice in one topic very deep. Yes, you can see CEH, CPTE and others that they cover a lot of domains (subjects), that's only a general view and you feel overwhelme with a lot of the information.

Focus in one topic that it is building up is good.
