Since you have pass GCIA, I am curious how u had performed for ur day 6 initially and if ur able to analyze the day 6 ftp shell now that given u have pass the exam. Its a more of an out of your curiosity for me to better understand how well do passing the exams will translate directly to the lab hands on.

I made sure I would Post my Experience here being that this site helped with guidance with this one and also my other Certs. Went for a Live Training Earlier this year in Texas and as a bonus from my manager also had on demand Content for 4 Months. I did not bundle my exam because I do not do well with time restraints and plus I like to move at my own pace with any exam that I pursue. Most Definitely a good challenge with this one, however with consistency I think anyone could Nail this one. I pretty much attended the live training, read deeply through the material once, and used the on demand to touch areas I needed extra Work on. GL to anyone that's in pursuit of this one.. any suggestions on a good follow up sans exam to this one??

There was a large enough material overlap between GPEN and GCIH that I used my GCIH index with some modifications instead of building a GPEN index from scratch. A lot of topics and tools are the same with the difference being GCIH has a blue team approach and GPEN uses the red team approach. It was easy for me to not go in the forensics direction because it doesn't interest me.
