Greetings,
I would recommend, Offensive Security courses, they are very hands on.
In the meantime, I would also suggest you join the East African InfoSec
mailing list at http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/security
There are very knowledgeable people on that list who will point you in
the right direction during your learning phase.
thanks
Alex

Fantastic!! You bring your own laptop and they boot you into a
virtual machine using Linux from which they train you.
It is a week's course for a whole day with excellent trainers. It
is interactive, hands on and they make sure that by day five,
YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF!! They also certify you with themselves and
can even prep you for and examine you for CEH.
I strongly recommend these guys. If you want to "go it alone",
there is a CEH centre in Uganda but I don't recall it off
the top of my head.

Hi,
Thanks Jake. Sounds like a good option. I will check them out and
if they are good, recommend them to my employer. How was the
training experience? Hands-on or mostly textbook? I am more of a
hands-on person and would love to have a "capture the flag" kind
of exam at the end that tests learning outcome rather than a
paper-based test.

Hi Robert,
When I felt the urge, I went to silensec. A company based out of
Nairobi that comes to Uganda to train corporates in
computer security. It costs about $1900 for a week's course thus
it is always a good idea to get a company to pay for your
course or subsidise it in some way.
Look up their website and/or talk to their regional training
consultant Paul Yago on email [email protected]

Good luck.

Hi,
I am not sure whether this is the correct place to put my concerns
but I wanted to find out whether there are any courses that are
held in Kampala that deal in computer security, particularly Pen
Testing, something similar to the SANS GIAC or Offensive Security
courses. CEH seems to be something similar learning on how to use
tools without learning to understanding the vulnerability or
underlying security architectural flaw that causes that
vulnerability to exist. I wish to expand my knowledge towards
Network Penetration testing. Any ideas?
