Passed CEH on 7/15
Thanks everyone for all of your helpful post! My Background: I am 29 years old with a M.S. in Computer Science. I have worked most of my career as a game programmer or game designer. I have zero security or IT experience, and posses no certifications. About a year ago I decided to learn about hacking. I was listing to… -
Passed GWAPT
I passed my third SANS certification this year (GSEC and GCIH) and I would say GWAPT was the definitely the toughest out of the three...but it really wasn't that bad, especially if you have a good index. SEC542 class: PROS: This was my first in-person SANS course and there were pros and cons to it. Pros: I hear with… -
Lets talk about job SOC
Hello. I'm working in one security startup in the country of 3 world. I've been in this company for more than a year and only once our SOC team had a project. The project was shitty. We did not know what to do and the client did not know what he needed. The project existed 3-4 months and client abandoned our services. I… -
Re: Becoming Pen Tester...
CEH might be a good start for you, CBT nuggets should be releasing their new CEH videos soon, also I'd recommend a lab with backtrack, metaspolitable and some other live bootable CD's that are made to be vulnerable. There is plenty of info on this site about setting up a lab using vmware workstation. The good news is you… -
Re: Considering doing a CEH Course
Apparently you should take some marketing ;) "Hackers" is what employers don't want to - but want to see. Akin to someone watching a scary movie, closing their eyes but peeking: Dice search for "Hackers" (64 total) http://tinyurl.com/diceHackerJobs Dice C|EH jobs 32 total http://tinyurl.com/diceCEHjobs If you weren't told… -
Re: I've been offered a job outside InfoSec
I'm going to caveat what the others say. As a person who has seen the resumes of people trying to get where you are, I can say there is something that I notice. A. your certs. The highest security cert you have on your profile is S+. That could e why you aren't considered for IR/SA positions. They want validation that you… -
Re: How to be a good Information Security Professional ?
This is a great question, and for someone who's been in the business of security for a short period of time (less than 2 years) I continually ask myself this question. I have to agree with Paul that it really depends on where you fall in the infosec spectrum. Me in particular, I fall in the IA spectrum and my duties… -
Re: GCIA and general security cert advise
The only official study materials are available from SANS. If you just want just the books, it costs $3,161 (the self-study option). You can also add the OnDemand bundle for $400 which gives you a few months of access to the latest online audio / video slide presentations and MP3s of the course. You can register for a… -
Re: Information Security?
Although I'm not in a traditional hardcore information security job, I work with firewalls and VPNs often enough that I guess I have a foot in the territory. I notice quite a few postings about getting into infosec. However, in my opinion, in order to do that kind of work you need a fundamental understanding of how… -
Re: Serious Career HELP Needed !!!
I've asked the same questions many times myself, and I've seen it asked a lot more. I compressed all of that into a nutshell for you :D People can definitely elaborate on what I've previously said, but that's pretty much the way things are. You need to figure out what technology you want to work with (*nix, Cisco, MS,…
