Joke! There is no such thing as an ethical hacker; only a hacker who is better at lying than others on how he learned his skill set. |

Hey man, take the course and the test. We did the new test and it is a bitch. 125 questions in 3 hrs. And nothing simple about it. I looked at the Question of the Day website and the test was 100X harder. Did I pass yup, but it is no walk in the park: scanning, C++ programming, wireless, protocols, SQL, tools & switches, etc. Go try it and then make a comment about it, IF you pass. Otherwise STFU. |

You have to take the test to believe what they claim. I did not expect stuff like reading actual exploit codes, parsing code for buffer overflow or reading IDS logs. Challenging? Very! I wonder how many people have actually cleared it.... |

I don't think we should encourage hacking in any form. All those young guys will go back to work and spend their spare time hacking after taking the course and whose fault will it be? What will their defence be? Oh you taught and encouraged me to hack and you even asked me to be a certified hacker. I hope the FBI crack down on this cert or at least demand the names of all those who are certified in name of National Security. |

They will learn the tricks of the trade and then they won't be able to help themselves and make the mistake of playing around until they get caught, yep a federal offence encouraged in part by their employers. |

Let's get real about a couple of things here guys. People that want to hack are usually smart enough to have some mental fortitude to not get caught. Don't want to get caught. How many open access points are in your area? Who is dumb enough to do it on the one they have. And do you really think most ISP's care? Not at all: I used to email ISP's and notify them when someone using their system was scanning or trying something against my company's web presence. Never heard back from anyone. And does the course encourage hacking? Maybe a little to satisfy your curiousity, but it encourages you to be more familiar with the techniques that people will try against you. The two posters who posted on 3-29-04 don't seem to have a clue about the reality of the situation and have seen Hackers too many times IMO. BTW: I am the first anonymous from 3-17-04 |

I have to agree with JDM wholeheartedly. To catch a hacker you have to be one. I don't know if I would go as far as to pay for a cert that I could learn on my own, though, so I could tack on "Ethical Hacker" on my resume..Besides, most companies will look down upon a title such as this. The media have distorted and miscontrued the word "hacker" to the point that its appauling to me...And most people are truly uninformed. |

I am 17 years of age and walked the examination. I dont think it encourages hacking, i think people in computing need to know methods of attack. WHAT A JUICY COURSE BTW |
