I went to the 5-day Firewalls and VPN's class in New Orleans and I would
highly recommend it.  It's not for the absolute beginner, so I was glad I
had some background.  We covered alot of ground in a short time.  Plus you
might be able to go to the Sans at Night or birds of a feather session and
learn more about specific topics.

I went to the SANS Intrusion Detection class last August in Ottawa. I found
it very good from a framework on someone needing to learn the area with
great detail and feedback (be sure to write papers and take exams). But
because it is a very structured course, it didn't go into detail on
particular areas that might be of interest to you or your company. For
example, there was a good section on NetBIOS intrusions and how to
interpret NBT packets, but little on IIS DAO and how it works to understand
why there were the vulnerabilities your were checking for. It is a very
practical introduction and is a real learning experience but you still will
need to keep up with all the BUGTRAQ/firewalls stuff to maintain your
knowledge.

Hello Gurus of the world,

A quick note to hopefully get some feedback in regards to your
recommendations
about the classes given by SANS.  I know this institute is great and great
people drive it, but has someone taken their classes?  some comments about
them?
I am thinking about going to one of their 4-day classes but before I put my
money in, wanted to have some feedback from someone who has been there and
done
that...

Thanks!

Don Juan
