Hi EH Members, i am new here..! I like to work as Ethical Hacker/Security Professionals(i know basics of Ethical hacking).

Anyone know best CEH institute in Bangalore?

Note: Please suggest me good institute which can offer good placement service for ethical hacking(I want job rather than the certificate).

 I have finished B.E ,fresher.  i am searching for a job.  I am well in programming languages (also i have developed small pentesting app in java).

I  have lot of interest in ethical hacking and Penetration testing.

Which certification is worth to learn?( more jobs)

How can i find the ethical hackers /pentesters job in net? (i searched , most of them are in abroad).

Please answer me.  I am confused.
   

Hi BreakThesec,

As Jamie.R already pointed out, just having the certification doesn't necessary mean that you will have the job immediately.
Experience is the key word here. Of course, you will have to start from somewhere, but your main goal should not be which cert to have but how to gather enough experience and, if lucky, get a junior job in pentesting.

Having an extensive knowledge of programming it's a good start, but you will have to have a good understanding of many different technologies (operating systems, databases, web servers etc.) in order to be able to make your way to your target. Specializing on web applications security might be another path to take considering the programming knowledge you have.

I think one common requirement that you will find is that you are expected to be an expert in at least one area of networking. You need to have a very good grasp of data as it is supposed to work before you can learn to manipulate it and take advantage of its inherent qualities. I cannot offer you much advice on training in your area, but I can tell you that you need a very strong foundation before jumping into pentesting or ethical hacking.

You would be better off at this time to let us help to determine where you are at technically so that you do not waste a lo t of money. These courses are not inexpensive and by the time you add in lab time or building your own lab, supplemental material it adds up really fast. We would hate to see you lose money or worse, get frustrated early in what can be a very rewarding career.
