Advanced Tool Certifications for Network Engineers / Pen Testers

roninkai

After going through the CEH materials, I was curious which tools also had certification. It turns on that lots of the most well known hacker / network tools do. Here's a quick list. I'm sure there are others, but having a few of these might catch the attention of a recruiter for a future pentest job.

Wireshark WCNA

Metasploit - (Metasploit Pro Certified Specialist)

Nessus

Splunk Certified Administrator
SnortCP

IEHF Certified Nmap Expert

OM602

I'm now preparing for the WCNA. I feel this is both interesting from a troubleshooting and forensic standpoint. It's not just a tool cert, it learns you plenty of other things regarding TCP/IP as well

Here's an interesting thread:

Don't have any info on the others
