in Security+
Hey all,
Just letting you all know I passed yesterday. Score was 855/900. Thanks for answering my questions. I'm thinking of doing CCNA next, then CCNA:Sec, then either LPIC-1 or Linux+, then CEH, etc.. I wish to pursue the systems/networking pen testing field of security. Do you all think this is the right order or should I do the linux certs then the networking certs and then the pen testing certs?

I would suggest taking your A+ and Network+ to become a well rounded professional and then capping it off with a CCNA or other large top level cert.
Congrats on your great score! On to the next cert!

We all want to get it in before years end. I am more concerned over getting MCSE, but with a definite deadline on Security+ I'm allowing it to slip in. And since I'm getting it, I want to take the 298 for my elective, and then do the 299 for MSCS:SDecide what to be and go be it.
