Editors' Quick Thoughts

This is a new offering not only of the training, Offensive Security 101, but of the credential as well. That being said, not many people know about. When credentials are not widely known, then it takes great content to get it off the ground. OSCP and the trainers at Offensive Security have that foundational requirement down. After all, they are the ones responsible for BackTrack, the widely popular bootable Linux distro for security practitioners. Now it's time to see what becomes of it in the industry. We'll offer more insight as this credential matures.

From the Horse's Mouth (Offensive Security's Web Site Content):

Offensive Security 101

"Offensive Security 101" is a course designed for network administrators and security professionals who need to get acquainted with the world of offensive security. The course introduces the latest hacking tools and techniques, and includes remote live labs for exercising the learnt material. This course gives a solid understanding of the penetration testing process, and is equally important for those wanting to either defend or attack their network.

How does it work?
