RE: Off Topic: Any interest in new Sniffer Certification?
Before we had all the great books that we had today, the SnifferU courses were a great source for information. A lot of the low level stuff that it is hard to find information on, like what is B8ZS, how does it work and how does it differ from D4AMI. I don't know if I'll go for the certification but I'm glad to see they are bringing it back. It is definatly worth a look. -Original Message- From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 9:10 AM To: info; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Off Topic: Any interest in new Sniffer Certification?

Re: Off Topic: Any interest in new Sniffer Certification?
Eh, big deal. The original post's header indicated it was Off topic. Plenty of threads on this list are about non Cisco certifications. Protocol Analysis is a skill reserved for experts. Some people on this list are CNX certified which is a certification being superceded by the new cert program.it will be interesting to see how they react to the new program. Therefore the post has relevance to the list. Even if it came from Sniffer's Marketing team, it wouldnt change that. .personally, I think protocol analysis is going to be extremely important in Wireless environments as a security measure.

Re: Off Topic: Any interest in new Sniffer Certification?
A more effective way to express displeasure (especially if you feel some form of non-passive censure is warranted) might be to reply with the following: "Yes I do have both a comment and interest. My comment is that your shameless promotion using what appears to be an NAI e-mail address spurs my interest in pursuing your rival's analysis certification and NOT yours." I'd mention the competitor, but that would violate the spirit of the counter-thread, and besides, it's not too hard to figure out anyway.
