ParticipantWell, I said last year that my goal was my degree. I’m graduating in 4 weeks with a Bachelor of Information Assurance. So I guess I met my goal. If I get converted from contractor to employee (which my management is trying to do), I’ve been told I need to take some SANS Courses.
Cert plans for next year (out of pocket):
CISSP
Locksmith cert.Maybes:
OSCP, CNW[AP]SANS (If work pays):
GPPA or GNFAAnd hoping I can start a Masters Program in the fall, but I haven’t decided on what one yet.
wow, I seem to be shooting for the stars

ParticipantI’m doing EnCase training in 2015 and am going to try to schedule Forensics I, II and the EnCe review so that I can test for the EnCe before the end of the year. I’m also trying to finish my master’s degree. I’m not sure if I’ll graduate in 2015 or 2016; it depends.
rattis: Congrats on the degree!

ParticipantIf I remember correctly my plans for 2014 included the CCNA Security and the GCIH. I completed the GCIH which was a great accomplishment. The CCNA Security is no longer on my radar for a number of reasons.
I also plan to attain the GPEN certification by the end of this year, but it could be tight. I may have to put it on the list for 2015. If I feel like I can do it I may attempt the OSCP next year.

ParticipantI completed the GCIH in the Spring and did study Python like I planned. I have to get the GPEN certification finished early next year and then I’m going to circle around to studying Python and C. Other than that, I’m planning to purchase some computer hardware and put together a pen testing lab π
@rattis: Congratz on finishing your degree!

Participant2014 : GPEN, GSEC, GCIA, GSE written
2015 : GSE, ARES, and … OSCP (I did the training in 2011 but I never sat for the exam π )

ParticipantWell, just signed up for the SANS FOR408 OnDemand course. Material should arrive next week, and possibly doing GCFE certification around May.
Also paid for the upgrade PWB 3 to PWK course material, as I also didn’t do the exam. Will look at that after the SANS course, and probably buy some lab time.

ParticipantCCNA (Almost finished)
CCNA Sec
CCNP Sec
Net +
Sec +
Linux +I dont know how long all those will take.
Thinking about doing a foreign language and bachelors or something at a college?
I forgot to add…
Anyone ever interested (don’t know the specific name) in those courses (not computer related) on how to bug-out or disappear if your being chased looked for… disappear course. I’m sure for this type of career those skills are useful. Even if your doing it the legal way.

ParticipantWell I guess i’m late to the party but I will be taking FOR610 in July/August with a review to be posted here. If everything works out I think I may take the GREM.
After that I am looking at going back and challenging GSEC. 2016 i’m seriously thinking that college and the GSE will be goals that may be realistic.

Finished the GPEN as well as the eJPT exam. I’ve fallen in love with Pen Testing. I’m currently studying for the eCPPT and hoping to finish it by the end of the year. Still need to dig some more into Python and C. Ah well, it’s inevitable that I will get into them more one way or another.

ParticipantSo I didn’t hit any of the below. I ended up starting the Grad school in Spring, and got a new job in July. The people I’m working for just paid for my GCIH exam Friday, so I’m studying for that on my own. They’re paying the test fee, not the class. They feel based on my current knowledge level and working as a CIRT analyst I should be able to pass it with only a little self study.
