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):
