Hi,

by moving the objectives

  326.3 User Management and Authentication (weight: 5)

and

  326.4 FreeIPA Installation and Samba Integration (weight: 4)

from the 303 to the 300 exam we'll vacate nine weight points in exam 303.

Some of these points should certainly be dedicated to penetration testing.
Metasploit would be one of the potentials tools, but there are more for
sure, and we should consider if there are other topics that should get some
of those spare weights, too.

What do you think?

And, this might be quite important, are you aware of any 'dual use'
considerations in your local legislation which might make it hard for
candidates and trainers to (responsibly) use pentesting tools for exam
preparation legally?

Fabian
