I don’t know which training you are referring to, but maybe the labs from Offensive Security offer what you are looking for.

You could also have a look at Vulnhub which offers virtual machines to practice some hands-on security testing or any of the many CTF challenges that are available online.

Did you eventually take the course?

In order to get LPT you need to have passed CEH and ECSA. Once you have these two, you just apply for LPT and pay some money – there is no pratical or theoretical exam involved.

Hi Robert,

I haven’t taken their training, but as a general recommendation corelanc0d3r’s tutorials cover many different topics that would be useful as a preparation. Similarly, you can find some tutorials by FuzzySecurity, The Grey Corner, Security Shift and Open Security Training. And of course other great resources like phrack and…[Read more]

You can find a couple reviews through Google, for example here.

I haven’t taken the course, but from the website:

6. Is this Course for Novices or only for Experts?

This course is for both. The language basics and PowerShell programming, which form almost half of the course, are covered with patience and keeping in mind the students, who have, no or very little prior programming experience. During the part…

dynamik, how was the AWAE course and certification? 🙂

Has anyone else attended it at the last Black Hat conference and could provide some feedback?

It seems they are trying hard to release the online version of AWAE by the end of this year. 🙂

Then why not include them?

I did recently book AWAE at Black Hat. I’ll probably limit 2014 to that and my degree. CRISC isn’t really a priority, and I’ll push that to 2015. After the OSWE exam, I think I’m going to need an extended vacation from 2+ years of OffSec training.

Did you eventually take AWAE? I’d love to see a review from you. 😉

I think your background is better than as of many others who have taken the course, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Like m0wgli, I too would sign up initially for 30 days and see how it goes. If you are in no hurry, you could try a couple vulnerable vms (for example, see vulnhub.com) before enrolling in the course, but based on your…[Read more]

That’s a nice giveaway. 🙂

Too bad SEC760 seems to be not included.

Congrats, hayabusa! Which ones are you going to take first? 🙂

You could always try to apply for a junior pentester position. Depending on your performance it should be easy to leave the junior status once you have done a couple of penetration tests.

Did you look at something like Offensive Security’s Penetration Testing with Kali Linux course? It is much more hands-on than CEH and might give you a better…[Read more]

Has anyone taken this course yet and could do a quick review? 🙂

1) You can download the videos.
2) If you find an exploit as a “standalone” script, you can use it without any problems.

Nice review, dynamic, thanks for the write-up! Although AWE covers some different topics than corelan’s training, could you give a comparison of these two courses?

Again, congrats on the pass! 🙂

Congratulations! Already looking forward to your review. 🙂
