I was planning on taking CCNA this year, have the voucher but have had a hard time getting motivated to do it. I keep getting drawn back into web and mobile app security learning. I may schedule and sit the exam and throw the dice but I'm finding exam preparation keeps eluding me.

I'm probably going to do GCIH in Orlando so I can Mentor it internally for my organization, but other than that I plan on focusing on appsec exclusively. I'm finishing up Mile2's CSWAE now and plan on doing the exam in January. After that, I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I have CSTP and CAST on my radar (from a previous EH-net Fishnet contest) and if they ever actually hold their scheduled Tampa class I'll sit that. I'm highly considering some independent coursework at my local college or a masters degree just so I can steal some time back from my wife so I have time for code. More than anything, that's what I need.

Well with the new job (99% it's mine) I will do the ACE, CCE, CCFE, and possible the EnCe.  I would still like to to Net+, CIH, and then my Mater's degree will be done.

My wall of certs should be full by then.

2011 I got through CCNA, which was the big work-related one, then I had CEH on my plate but got distracted by a college class that took more time than I'd have liked. 

In 2012 I plan on working on CEH over the next month or so, then starting up CCNP next summer, hopefully taking ROUTE or SWITCH by Cisco Live in June.

2011 first security cert OSWP

Already Booked
2012 Refresh of the OSWP
2012 SFME Security Metasploit Framework Expert

Booking Soon
2012 eCPPT

After this I hope to maybe taking these
OSCP
CREST CRT I do the CREST TL one in about 3 years

Then once I have done these I am not sure what to do as my company don't like paying for course so everything out my own pocket. Hence most course I go for are cheap that are affordable.

I know I want to take the following:

CCNP:S
OSCP

That'll take me to about June or July or so.

After that, things get interesting. My heart says go for CCIE:S but my head says do CCNP R/S. There is also the issue of my desire to do CWNA and CWSP.  I also want to do linux+ (since I am taking a linux course for school) but that may have to wait. What would help me the most at my job would be CCNP R/S (along with CCNP:S and OSCP) then some sans courses.

2012:

- CHFI (at least study the material, I don't know about actually taking the test)

- GCFA

- ACE

- OSCP

- maybe some more computer forensic certs..

Hopefully the money situation will work out, so I can get all of these!

Here's my tentative list for 2012:

• OSCP (just started on 12/10)
• OSWP (April)
• CEPT (May-June)
• ECSA (debating..)
• CCNA:S (December)
