SANS Books

Hello All,
I have bought the GSLC certification challenge and I am interested in getting the GSLC books that are for it. Would anybody interested in sharing the GSLC materials they have?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe we aren't really allowed to share this.

I contacted the Sans reps about it. They say they only give the books with the self study and not the GIAC certification attempt. I didn't see anything about getting material from others. To me it looks like it's all about money. I just want to be prepared when I take the attempt. I hear it's like CISSP and PMP combined.

I'm 100% sure. We aren't allowed.

You should've bought a SANS course.

PS And yes, it's about money obviously. Their courses are top-notch and they worth the money IMO. If you don't think so just don't buy it. In order to maintain the quality of their courses they have to stay profitable and invest in developing them. What you are suggesting here is cut them these profits. Are you a socialist or what.

HA! Really though, why wouldn't they want to protect their main revenue source? Even just the test attempts are crazy expensive, of course it's all about money. You want to be prepared when you take the test, they want you to pay $6K to be prepared.
