I have attended ISS's Ethical Hacking course, and found it on the whole, useful. The course content is very hands on (I found it abit basic though), and the staff (at ISS in London at least) are very clued in and will help or even try and mimick any scenario you could imagine. The course will cover bits of law etc in the ethics section, and will cover a number of exploits (some old, some fairly new) in the hands on - quite a tough exam at the end too. In short - if you have a good grounding in hacking already, you might find it a bit basic, for beginners it might be a bit hard, but ask the right questions, and you can generally 'tune' it to your own requirements. On the whole, I recommend it. -- _ _ _a' /( <. # Gaz Wilson, aka DragonLord /_/ _ _/ / ` / _ ~~ _}\ \( _ ) # E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ /_'/_/ /_, / /_||/|/ \(,_(,)' # Info: www.dragons.org.uk/redclaw.html Catch me with the Dragons. ._>, _>, # Chat: http://www.redclaw.org.uk/
