OSWP Exam

I just took the exam a few weeks ago and it was not what I expected.

Yep, probably their worst course. Needs to be updated to include enterprise auth with wifi.

There's plenty of room to expand beyond 802.11 as well. They could do something similar to SANS 617/GAWN and also include ZigBee, Bluetooth, RFID, etc.

At the same time, it's pretty cheap, and the quality/quantity of material is fair for what you pay.

Tha main reason I done the course was the price.

The course has been updated since I did it, so I can't comment on the new material. I'd agree with all the the other comments made so far.

At the time I read the following book  to expand on the material whilst doing the course and found it useful:

http://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Exposed-Wireless-Second-Edition/dp/0071666613/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Another book I've heard good things about but haven't read yet is:

http://www.amazon.com/BackTrack-Wireless-Penetration-Testing-Beginners/dp/1849515581/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346322592&sr=1-1&keywords=wireless+backtrack

The backtrack book is meant to be pretty good and as its written by Vivek I would expect it to be. Of course he also have wireless course on securitytube that may cover more or less might be worth looking into tho.

I was studying Vivek's course and decided to try for the OSWP new version. I watched the videos and practiced for two weeks, then took the test and it took me 3 hours to hack everything, get all the screenshots, make the report in a very clean fashion with intro, scope, attacks with screenshots... the whole nine yards and send it off... 24 hours later I got the good news... I was OSWP

With Vivek's material you do a lot more than with the OSWP, I decided to go for the cert because of the OffSec reputation, but Vivek's video course it's a lot more complete
