CEH pros and cons
I can across this thread while looking into some security stuff. No opinions myself but some of you may find it interesting. Bit of a ding dong but there are a few considered views each side of the arguments as far as I can tell.

I find that a lot of people with a ton of experience in security dislike the certification. Is it understandable? Sure. But it was a different world when they started on the road to security. I think that if they look at it as I have and see that it really is an entry-level cert then they probably wouldn't bash it as much. But as with anything, you will have those who like it and those who don't. Can't please everyone and it is up to every person to make the decision on their own....

Appreciate the link, though. I have to say I thought it was weird to get my certificate package straight from Hong Kong.
I thought it was funny reading during my CISSP studies about how hackers were good and "crackers" were bad. The only people I've ever heard use the word cracker were George Jefferson and Fred Sanford.

People also seem to mistakenly think that the CEH is claimed by the EC-Council to be the "CISSP of hacker exams," and this clearly isn't the case. However, it seems that Mile2 still thinks their pen testing cert is way better than the CEH:
"Certified Ethical Hacker Training and Counter Hacker Courses Hacking School"
"CEH Certified Ethical Hacker Training Inadequacies"

It has much better practical knowledge than the original security+ (havn't read 09 version as yet so can't compare). The official guide has almost nothing to do with pen testing but the exam prep books are very good intro into the real hands on stuff as has been mentioned before.
Reading through this thread and coming across I read about CNDA, it seems that it is a repeat of CEH, a lot of the objectives are same as in CEH, is it so?
Once you earn CEH, you can pay $50 and fill out forms proving you're a government employee to earn the right to say you're a CNDA.
thanks for info...so I am assuming it is more or less useful only if you work for the government.

I am a government contractor, but if I took the CEH and paid the fee to use the CNDA designation, could I use the two designations interchangeably or maybe even use both at the same time? One resume with CEH and another with CNDA?
