I'm looking into this. Got a couple more classes I got to knock out before I do. How did you like it? What other classes are you looking into?Passed GNFA yesterday after passing GCIA last year anyone else took / considers to take this path as well? :These articles and posts are my own opinion and do not reflect the view of my employer.

I wish I had taken this exam. I took the class and paid for the test, but work got in the way (a really busy quarter). It's the one GIAC exam I skipped out on.Hopefully-useful stuff I've written: http://kimiushida.com/bitsandpieces/articles/ -

I really did enjoy - it builds on the stuff in GCIA but is more focused on higher layer protocols, log sources and other means of identifying bad stuff is going on.
I have a degree in networking and both of these certs/courses put all the things in different context with a lot of added value, hands-on with various tools etc. Enjoyable!
The other interesting classes do not have certs yet - like the threat intelligence one or active defense - hope my company is going to pay anyway

But you have an impressive collection anyway - which one did you enjoy the most?I wish I had taken this exam. I took the class and paid for the test, but work got in the way (a really busy quarter). It's the one GIAC exam I skipped out on.

Most of them were unique enough that they all had nearly the same level of enjoyment. 503 certainly stands out, as well as 560. 408/508 definitely complements 572 (since it uses the same lab) and as a package is pretty solid in looking at the same situation from different points of view.Hopefully-useful stuff I've written: http://kimiushida.com/bitsandpieces/articles/

Wow, didnt realize that - but it makes sense considering DFIR NetWars scenarios... thanks for sharing! -

Congrats! I too have taken GNFA, but not GCIA. Do you recommend doing that next?
