GCIH/GSEC Study Materials
Hi Everyone,
I am really interested in taking the GCIH or GSEC exam in the next year. I am CISSP certified and really worried that i might be flunking my GCIH/GSEC exam without the actual course materials. I cannot afford to go for the mad expensive SANS courses.
Does anyone have it? Please advice.
Thanks for your help. Really Appreciate it.

Can I transfer my self study or online course materials to another student?
You cannot transfer, share or give your self study material to another person. The following is noted when you access your course material through your account.
"Important Notice: By accessing the SANS GIAC online course material, practice tests, exams, and related files, the student agrees to the following.
I understand that my license to use SANS electronic course materials is exclusively for my individual professional development. I will not transfer nor will I allow others to use the course materials or the test questions. I will not use any part of this material for teaching others nor will I incorporate it, nor allow it to be incorporated, in any other training materials or publications, electronic or print, without prior specific written consent of the SANS Institute."

You could also use these books for the GCIH exam preparation. Read these books few times, and create an index out of them. This index will help you to pass the exam.
Blue Team Handbook: Incident Response Edition: A condensed field guide for the Cyber Security Incident Responder.
Incident Response & Computer Forensics, Third Edition ( Read twice, and create an index)
Jason T. Luttgens
Counter Hack Reloaded: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses (2nd Edition)
Skoudis, Edward ( Read this book at least 3 times, and create an index of the books)
Hacking Exposed 7: Network Security Secrets and Solutions
McClure, Stuart ( Read twice, and create an Index)
Thanks for the List. Have you taken the GIAC GCIH exam? Did you use these books?
Yes. Unfortunately my company is not paying for the course and i already applied for the Work Study Program. (No Positive Reply from SANS yet). All the forums state that the questions that appear in the exam are concentrated from the books issued by SANS.
As for work study program, you are actually competing with SANS Master's program enrollees and many others who are actually inline before you. TE has some great info regarding Work Study program. I myself, was in the waiting list twice, never materialized. As for the SANS books, I will not make any comments, except that ebay is there, so is Amazon, so a friends who actually could lend a book ;-).
hiranncs that the classes have versions.
@hiranncs you should not buy the material through some 3rd party because it is dated and they have records of who went to which class. The GIAC exams are open book. If you have the wrong book, you may answer the question(s) incorrectly. As @cshkuru stated there is material out there.
Those who have purchased other books to supplement their knowledge can pass the exam. It is rare but these folks really know the subject matter and have been in the field for some time.
