And/or digital forensics that I can begin in the Winter of this year?
I've heard that the CEH isn't worth it. And if not that, are there any other good pentest/forensics related certs that I could begin training for this Winter?
Thanks much.

I don't specifically about reverse engineering malware, but if you want a hands on security certification I find these VERY interesting and am strongly considering them just for the pure entertainment value.
Information Security Certifications by Offensive Security -

Thanks, you just reminded me about the certs offered by offensive security. I was looking at the OSCP last Winter and will definitely take an attempt at it.
Are there any EC Council ones that are doable in this time frame? -

So far it looks like:
GCIA
OSCP
GCFA
CCE
Guess it's down to choosing what can be done in a month. I already know the OSCP will run me about 3 months the least.

The GCIA isn't "forensics" in the traditional sense of file-system / memory content investigation. It's very much network focused and traffic analysis. It assumes you have a basic understanding of TCP/IP and can read a little hex.
If you're looking at GIAC certs for forensics, pentesting, or malware topics, look at:- SEC 542
- SEC 560
- SEC 617
- FOR 408
- FOR 508
- FOR 610

IACRB has three:
Certified Computer Forensics Examiner (CCFE)
Certified Reverse Engineering Analyst (CREA)
Certified Expert Penetration Tester (CEPT) - You're required to create two exploits and reverse engineer a binary. -

^^ Thanks guys.
I'm going to do some research on those now.
edit: Lastly, I know that the EnCE training can be done online. Are there any sites you guys would recommend I steer clear from? (as in the 64hrs of training not being applicable).
Wow, those courses sure are pricey.
At this point, for namesake and others I might stick with the EnCE and CPT
