I attended SANS Incident Handling and Hacker Exploits course in October and found the class to be very informative. As you say some of the tools are outdated, but you get the jest of the toolbox to carry with you like cryptocat, nmap and whisker. As far as exploits, they append the class to give you current ones. Though I am fairly new to the security field I have coded (C and java) for the last 15 years and still find that the best way to go is a lab environment where you can de-engineering code yourself.
Hope this helps - -- Michael Desrosiers Consultant -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8dV0h/5D1z0j9PSIRAm+zAKCEqEiIo7tqp2zrGPJDOrT0xHX+SQCfVyO8 9IvX29M+uZM7UHqM5jovJeM= =xVAh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
