Pentest+ - thoughts?
I just looked at the CompTIA site and it looks like Pentest+ is out at the end of the month. I looked at the objectives and was pleasantly surprised. It looks like it's typical CompTIA - a huge, huge variety of topics, but on the whole, it looks good. Anyone know how much web-app pen-testing will be on there? Reason I ask,… -

I took the PenTest+ beta in April. IMO to pass this exam requires actual knowledge and use of the tools.

I was reading a CEH book last night and it says Part of the Cynic in me says "oh, trick questions" and then the realist says "Or things like wording something like a user report that isn't specific rather than a precise problem summary" I took the pentest+ beta as well, I would say that the eLearn might be a good way to…
