I reviewed the eLearn course relatively recently here. The OSCP has been the most challenging and rewarding course I've done, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone whose just starting out.

I don't have personal experience with The Hacking Dojo or The Hacking Academy. Tom, who runs The Hacking Dojo, is a member here (grendel), and I've seen nothing but good things about his course offerings.

We actually have over 25 hours of videos right now. :-)

Great review of the eLearnSecurity course, Andrew! Thanks for the link. I'm actually thinking about signing up for PTP2 after I will have done my review of TCP/IP, Assembly, UNIX, C++, and PHP, which are actually among its pre-requisites.

Thanks for the link to the free module, m0wgli.

For now, as I do my refresher on the above things, I will work in parallel at the Dojo for a month or two and see if I can complete a level or two over there. Thank you for the update on the number of hours of video lessons, Thomas.

LT72884, I appreciate your comment on the Hacking Dojo and Thomas' book.
