560 Advice

Ok, well I said screw it, I'm going for 560 with the GPEN exam. Going to take it via Simulcast. Now I know the books will be sufficient but i'm starting to read Penetration Testing: A Hands-on Introduction to Hacking by Georgina Weidman, going to try to burn through as much as I can in the next week in a half through prior to the course.

Hoping for some advice before I start, any tools I need to get some practice with before I start? Any videos that would be of use to view? Anything absent more books to buy

Preferably free stuff, paying out of pocket once again.

EDIT: I also have a 504 Practice exam I can give away, expires on January 15th.

I think this list of video will be good help for the exploitation and post-exploitation part.

Well I was gonna volunteer to take the practice exam off your hands, but it's not really the area I am into. But if you want to get rid of it, I'll take a flyer on it.

I'm interested in the 504 practice exam. I'll give you a 503 (GCIA) practice exam in return.

Hmm. When does the GCIA expire?

Hey SephStorm, looks like we're going to be tackling the GPEN around the same time! Any tips? Do you have any extra practice exam by any chance?

I haven't gotten my material yet so I can't say for sure. We'll see if I need both practice exams.

Matt, I'll let you know, but I'm not sure if i'll be ready for another GIAC exam this year.

Just got my books today. Race you to the end Seph...

Mine is OnDemand, so I guess I have a little advantage

This is the next class/exam that I want to tackle after I am done with the GWAPT. This class is taught by Ed Skoudis which is an amazing instructor, really all the SANS instructors are amazing.

From what I can tell, need to get comfortable with nmap and it's associated switches.

Good luck guys!
