It doesn’t mention in the email anything about using the voucher to purchase the CBT course.  Do we need to use the voucher by end of the night tonight for the CBT course as well?

Anyone going for the DVD instead of the Online Streaming?  I was thinking of doing this for CPTE but then on the page it says they’re in the process of updating the D…[Read more]

Whoa!  Glad I checked my email tonight (was out all day).  I thought I would have some time to think about which course I wanted to take.  (CPEH vs CPTE)  Since I only had a matter of a couple hrs to decide, I went with CPTE and registered for the exam.  I haven’t looked  yet to see when I actually have to write the exam.  I see a note saying…[Read more]

Sweeeeet!  Thanks EH.  8)
I think I’ll probably do the CPTE.. looks a bit better than CEH. 🙂

Can’t wait either to hear back from the Black Hat giveway and last month’s giveaway. 🙂

hmm.. I’ll take a look and pm ya back. 🙂

$200/yr for any mag is damn pricey!  OUCH  😮

I received a call from someone at Mile2 and man he was energetic! lol  He mainly had these points:
1. Mile2 was the first vendor to provide CEH training.
2. They remained the largest supporter and vendor for CEH training until they bailed and ran away from CEH.
3. They got tired of waiting weeks for the material from EC-Council only for it to be…[Read more]

Sweet!  I was just there the other day and wondering when they were going to update the list.  They must be overloaded since I can’t get to the site now but I’ll keep trying.

I do want to try the OSCP but on these forums, it seems that it’s better to have a jumping off point with getting the CEH or CPTE training first.  OSCP looks pretty intense and not sure how well I’d do if I jump right into that.  

Yeah, with the training one would receive from taking the CPTE course, you could probably challenge the CEH exam (…[Read more]

I’m about to submit my training request at work.  So if you’re in my position with the certs I have, what would you do? 

CEHv7 (in person) for $2500 (including exam voucher)
  OR
CPTE  (live virtual training) for $3000 + exam fee

I’m also going to ask about CCNA bootcamp.

That’s hilarious.  I’ll take 2 please.  8)

I’m up for it and I can make time but I’m unsure if I would even know how to do this. lol

Wow!  I heard all about the RSA breach but I guess I forgot or didn’t see that it was also Poison Ivy… man that trojan gets around.  😉

No kidding!  I’m anxious too.  8)

Speaking of Trojan’s..  just in case you missed it, here’s a good example of an old one (PoisonIvy) which was modified to get around modern defenses, it seems.

I have a camera hidden in my shirt (with a picture of James Bond) using the camera from thinkgeek if that counts.  😀

How is DefCon?  I’ve always heard that one is the most popular and everyone talks about it but is it worth the flight, hotel, food, etc.. to go to Vegas just for that?  It seems the cheapest place for me to fly to from here is Vegas.

Whoa!  That’s quite a bit more advanced than it initially reads (just mentioning the PoisonIvy rat).  Man, I’d love to get my hands on their modified version and have a look.  Sounds like they did a good job of modifying it.

I’m jealous.. I’d love to have your job if it involves working with issues such as this one!  🙂

I think I’m just living in a horrible place (location wise) for the conventions.  I’m as west as you can get in Canada. (Vancouver Island)  Way too expensive to fly to any of the cheap cons.  One year I may go to the cheapest place (Vegas) for DefCon as I’ve still never been there.

Filled out the survey but I had to say that I’ve never been to ANY event before.  (my company is also too cheap to send me anywhere and I have no money to pay out of pocket)
