I have not, I am prepping to take the V10 base cert test next month. But I’m pondering going for the practical after. If I choose to, I’ll review.

Amen.  I didn’t stay at the Riv though, my worst stay in Vegas was the NOT-SO Imperial Palace… that wont’ happen again.  Paris last year wasn’t bad, but I’m hoping to snag gov rate at the Bell this year.

Yeah, I grabbed the Official study guide as well.  I’m planning to read both cover to cover before shelling out 1k.  Heh.

To Macphisto:  Well, crossfit is actually rather easy to get into.  It is very scalable which is one of the more useful aspects of it.  I got into it about 4 years ago.  My first class was myself and 5 women, all of which…[Read more]

Nice, lucky bugger.

Hah!  That’s where I was thinking… friggin Riviera.  Ok… the Rio, yeah that’s new to me.  I am just tired of the Riviera.  Rio.. yeah, I think I went there for brunch once.  Sorry!  Heh.

I’ve got the full meal deal with the dead tree pages, dvds… you name it.  I’m just using the book for now, since I feel I should get some use out of that thing other than a door stop, or something to smack a burglar with.  Though.. if I had a kindle, I’d probably use it. :/  Santa never arrived with one this year heh, maybe next year.

Yeah, I’…[Read more]

I look forward to hearing the review Data.  I love the cover, that’s a good start heh. After I finish my xfit cert and my cissp, that might be a good ‘cool down’ book heh.

At the Rio again?  😛  Man, I hope they’ve cleaned that place up a touch heh.

Heh, I think you may have missunderstood me Negrita. 🙂  The kid I’ve been mentoring, I’ve simply been trying to encourage him toward joining in with the discussions here, asking questions, and generally making use of the community of experts here as a way for him to develope his knowledge of the wide world of computer security, and perhaps help…[Read more]

Good links Data_Raid.  I’ll have to go through them.  I actually put my CISSP studies on the back burner for a couple months.  I’m currently getting ready to get Crossfit Certified first, since an opening for the testing opened up back in my home city, which gave me a good excuse to head back to the states for a few days.  I look forward to goi…[Read more]

Nice man!  Enjoy the course, and as others have said, please clue us in as to your thoughts on it.

Welcome back!  Been quite a while, I just started popping back in myself… though I’m no longer with the agency I was with before.  I’m now with a new one.  Glad to hear being part of the community helped out like that!  I’ve been suggesting a young computer security student who I’ve been mentoring get into the community here, he’ll be exc…[Read more]

So… it’s a computer security class?  If they are breaking you into groups and having you stage attacks on the other classmates computers, I’d assume they’d have gone over the basics with you, otherwise it’s like the monkeys and the monolith…

Regardless though, good place for tools is insecure.org.  Feodor keeps a good list of what’s fairly p…[Read more]

Generally… it all comes back to the $$$.  😛  It’s why I married an optomist… so I can have someone to help balance out my suspicious outlook on most everyone and everything.  None the less, interesting link. 

Last I heard… there was a silc channel floating around some members like.  That was a few Defcons back though.

I have the book/dvds as well… about to really get into them in preparation for my cissp.  Frist thing I noticed (20 some pages in) was that they refer to DDOS as being the most common use of botnets or something… which was interesting… could have sworn it making SPAM.  Mmmm… Spam-burger…

Yeah, not sure on the actual worthwhile nature o…[Read more]
