Passed CEH today

Took the CEH exam today and passed with 86%
I used about 45 minutes of 4 hours they give you, and probably could have got a better score if I took more time to review my questions over.
I opted for the self study route instead of the training course.
I used "Official CEH certified ethical hacker review guide" by Steven Defino and Larry Greenblatt
and an old cisco book I have titled "Penetration Testing and Network Defense"
It seemed like there was more emphasis on knowing about the different types of attacks instead of actually knowing how to execute them.
Overall, I had fun studying and taking this exam, however, my employer paid for the exam and because of the steep $500 exam and $100 application fee I'm not sure I would have pursued this if I had to pay for it out of pocket.

That is the name reason I opted for CASP instead of CEH, cost. I just didn't think it was worth it because my employer probably would not have covered the bill.

But congrats!
