Re: Harvard IT Security Short Course Worth it?
Hi, Sorry for the late response. I will admit the potential of having some sort of Ivy League certificate is attractive to me. However at the company I'm currently at they reimburse up to 3500 for yearly tuition. Thing is they do not reimburse for any IT certifications. And considering the price of your average tuition it… -
Re: About to give up on OSCP
I started about the same time as you and have failed once earlier this year. But you gotta just keep going man, break a couple of keyboards, punch some walls and you'll make it through. At the very least attempt the test, when I failed it actually boosted my confidence cause I did better then I thought I would and learned… -
Re: Finally starting the OSCP!
Hey guys, It's been awhile but I am back with another update! at This point I am sitting on 44 hosts, inlcuding all but one from the pub network and the entire admin network. This is what my new goal was and I am happy to have made it this far. I havent been doing much attacking this last week as I have been writting my… -
Re: Tried and Failed this morning
Don't be sad my friend. I can't even beat a video game in that amount of time That being said, I see a lesson(s) to be learned here. You only took this test when an opportunity was offered right? You should have had this certification goal before that even came about. Why? because there are hundreds of employers who will… -
Re: Post WGU graduation experiences
I hate to be the Debbie Downer but... I received the MSISA in July 2013, complete with CEH, CHFI, Giac ISO 2700 Specialist, and Network+. My Mentor told me most graduates with that degree and certs are getting jobs on the east cost in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington. He told me to apply on usajobs.gov. I spent six… -
Re: Any Skillsoft opinions?
Trying find that CySA+ course on Skillsoft to see who the author is, etc. and I literally can't. Either you have to pay for it first to see those details (no thanks) or it's simply because Skillsoft's website interface and design isn't good (no thanks). I get the vibe that many companies/government pay Skillsoft in bulk… -
Re: Missed it by *that* much! (CCSP)
I was also so close 694 !!! My two weakest domains was Operations & Legal. Passed the CISSP and CEH on the first attempt, but failed the CCSP. Took a 5-day boot camp using the ISC2 study guide - IMHO the ISC2 boot camp was a waste of time. The trainer did not emphasize on what is important for the exam. The official ISC2… -
Re: You guys rock. OSCP will be my choice
Similar sitution, I just recently started learning about how to probably manage my finances. I have honestly ate out 2-3 times in the last several months. I mostly eat pasta, black beans, eggs tofu, peanut butter sandwhiches etc. all so that I can pay off all of my debts/student loans before 2016 is over. I wish I could… -
Re: How hard are these exams?
I took both the CWNA and CWSP. Unfortunately, need to take them both again. Being from Amateur Radio and the FCC General Radiotelephone era, I've been interested in wireless communications. I read both books, went through Tom Carpenter's course and still came up short. CWNP even gave me a second shot for my CWNA when their… -
Re: WGU Progress Thread - Free for All
After a long frustrating series of phone calls last night I retract my statement. Usman is correct and I was incorrect, an additional caveat is that they will never do a refund for the final semester even if the CUs are below 12 and 60% through the semester. I was passed bad information from a mentor as well as the initial…
