Proposed training options from Offensive Security and eLearnSecurity since content updates.
If I recall correctly, eLearnSecurity and Offensive Security have recently made content updates to several of their course offerings. I have a specific goal to attempt both OSCP and PTP this year. I have a limited training budget that would only allow the $999 offering from Offensive Security or the "Full" (not "Elite")… -

Time for a home lab (network security) - suggestions
So I think running Virtualbox on my laptop is not gonna be enough to study for my new goal. To make this post short and to the point, I want to build a home network to study the following topics: 1. Firewalls (Checkpoint), I need to pass the CCSA and potentially the CCSE but let's focus on the CCSA. 2. WireShark (or… -
Re: new CompTIA beta
Comment by FluffyBunny · · Home› Certification Preparation› Cloud Certifications› Cloud+ & Cloud EssentialsI sat the beta test this morning, using the new online, at-home testing provided by PearsonVue. Generally speaking I had the experiences as outlined in the big Reddit thread. Most importantly, on MacOS the drag-n-drop on PBQs is really slow. You have to click and hold for three seconds before dragging something. Aside from… -
Re: I've cleared my security +, what after this?
Sorry to hear about lay off. At this point you have a couple options. Pentesting: CEH, OSCP, Gpen, and ECPPT General security: Gsec, SSCP, CISSP All of these will be somewhat expensive to study for and take to really expensive to study for and take. All the Giac certs are very expensive but higly regarded in the info sec… -
Re: snort certified professional exam
Certs like SnortCP certainly couldn't hurt, but it's probably not something infosec folks would recognize when interviewing candidates. It's almost akin to, "...there's a Wireshark certification?" That said, with all the hype(?) and growing demand for security professionals, it couldn't hurt either unless you're on a… -
Re: SEC560 Review
Thanks for the perspective. I took 560 at an actual SANS event and Simulcast was a part of it. I remember Ed occasionally answering a student question directly toward what appeared to be a camera at the front of the class. Perhaps one of the main drawbacks of Simulcast is for capture-the-flags where I assume all the… -
Re: Starting eJPT
@UnixGuy I don't work with it at all in my job. I do use a bit of Nessus, but I have done a lot of my own study with Metasploit etc. Mainly just me playing around in my lab at home and being anti social :). Well, I passed! I decided to take the exam today because I start my new job tomorrow and I knew I wouldn't have much… -
Re: SANS GPEN Supplemental resources/study guides/the whole kit and kaboodle :)
Prepping for the GPEN is easy - you just need the books and a good index. GIAC tests aren't hard. The value from the SANS/GIAC program is in using the materials as a foundation upon which to build your real-world skills. I've met a few people who have a GIAC cert but never really learned the material from the class. All… -
Re: I work for this company and I want to apply for a position they posted, but im new
Heck I still have the deer in the headlights and shaky speech doing basic things that I know fluently. Everyday gets easier and more comfortable. You dont want to mess up and it's like being in school again trying to get the star from the teacher on your report card. Its been a lot of fun though. I'm going to stick with…
