Re: New here, re-entering the cert game after a long hiatus.
First, welcome! Second, your journey may sound a bit familiar.

Re: CTT+ info
Basically, the skills and techniques I learned while obtaining the CTT helps me even today when I'm acting in a support role. Relaying technical information to non-technical people can be tricky.

After much deliberation on which way I want to take my cyber career, I've finally decided to bit the bullet, clear my plate of all other certification study efforts, and restart my work on OSCP. In mid-2018, I was fortunate enough to have my employer fund the course, lab time, etc. However, I enrolled at a time when I… -
Re: Caution, CEH's
