Re: GIAC vs. OSCP
SANS' SEC-504 course / the GIAC GCIH certification focuses on general "hacker techniques and exploits" and their countermeasures as framed within the incident handling process (preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned). It's good stuff and can open eyes for IT admins as to how… -
Re: OSCP 06-02-2018 Accountability Thread
Good luck bro! I got my course materials earlier today, but I was working on the eCPPT test right now lol I just finished rooting everything in the eCPPT exam too. So glad because I don't want to waste any of these 90 days from the PWK. Now I just need to write my report for the eCPPT exam. Here are some recommended… -
Re: eLearnSecurity 4-in-a-box promotion : what to choose?
I am currently running through the PTSv3. I am new to PenTesting and I first went the CEH route since I was trying to my work requirements but I was very disappointed with the material to actual working hands on experience. I am aware that having the time to do your own lab work is key but it would be nice to have it at… -
Re: Passing Linux+ when I have A+, Network+, and Security+? What will renew what now?
Hi, I found the documentation misleading https://www.comptia.org/continuing-education/choose/renew-with-a-single-activity/earn-a-higher-level-comptia-certification , I thought that the CASP would renew my linux+ but it doesn't. I don't know if it's because I skipped A+,Networking+ and Security+ but my track gets renewed… -
Re: How do you plan to improve your career situation?
Honestly I'm so lost on what I want to do. One day I want to have a career in Linux (I've read 4 or 5 articles about how in demand Linux skills are), the next I want to do pentesting/ Computer forensic (I start my computer forensic internship this month)..or go down the Cisco path. I'm not complaining because my current… -
Re: How to I go from linux user to sysadmin for starting job?
I will tell you my history maybe it will help you. I've started working in IT field in 2004 as an computer technician. In 2007 I got my first sysadmin job, altough at a small company, and started learning linux for business use (I was using linux for fun until then). In 2009 I've decided to go for RHCE and that changed my… -
Re: Anyone else pay for their own certification exams/materials?
I've paid for my beta exams Cysa+ and Pentest+, paid for some books (CCNA SECFND and SECOPS, ISC2) and some AMFs. I'm also paying for my masters, my ACM membership and ITProTV. The safari books online is so good I'm thinking of axing ITproTV, don't have the time to use both. The rest of the certification exams have been… -
Re: Signing up for OSCP in the next month or two - have some questions
OSCP will give you the skills and practice to hack, which is a key part to being a good pentester. You can read about hacking all you want in other courses/certs but the bottom line is if you can get root or not. By the time you own 30+ boxes in the lab, you'll have a routine down for just about anything. It's a good… -
Re: In your opinion - How long does the average employee stay at a position?
My history since working in IT has been 1.5>8>8mo>1.25>10mo (putting in notice Friday). That stretch after the 8 years seems bad but every job I've gotten has been people coming after me and I've actually more than doubled the income of the 8 year long job with this new offer I received. I can say that I am done moving… -
Re: Help an old military working dog learn some new tricks??
There are ground floor opportunities, but cyber/info assurance isn't as young as those folks think. FISMA has been mandating info sys. programs, which include the things like vulnerability scanning and pentesting, all the way back since 2002. While FISMA only applies to federal agencies (and contractors), corporations…
