digip Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I haven't taken it, but from working with Mati and reading some of the peoples responses over at EthicalHacker.net, it seems its one of the most in depth classes you can take for pentesting and security professionals. People seem to prefer it over the CEH certifications because they actually teach you and then you have to do it to pass the tests, not just answer questions, but physically do the penetration itself. Read this thread, and maybe ask some of these people if you are unsure if its time well spent. From what I hear, its not easy stuff you can just breeze through, so you need to have a good understanding of the topics covered and really dig into the content they teach you: http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/opt...4/topic,1152.0/ Have you read their PDF covering the course: http://offensive-security.com/documentatio...ve-security.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplock_inactive Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Some of the HAK5 crew have taken the course, but they did the online version. Maybe they'll comment on it too. ziplock -- Manager of Online Training and Certification http://www.offensive-security.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufferzone Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Rakz I took the course "Backtrack to the Max" at Blackhat this year in Vegas. The teacher was Mati Aharoni (muts) assisted by Chris Hadnagi (LoganWHD) and I can definitely recommend both this course and the 101. Mati has emailed me and alerted me to the fact that the 101 course might be held at Blackhat Amsterdam this coming April. I myself is hoping to go. I have some knowledge about the 101 course also, so feel free to ask Regards Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplock_inactive Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The course in Amsterdam will be based on the currently-unreleased BackTrack 4 :) ziplock -- Manager of Online Training and Certification http://www.offensive-security.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
