Fantastic!! You bring your own laptop and they boot you into a virtual machine using Linux from which they train you. It is a week's course for a whole day with excellent trainers. It is interactive, hands on and they make sure that by day five, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF!! They also certify you with themselves and can even prep you for and examine you for CEH.
I strongly recommend these guys. If you want to "go it alone", there is a CEH centre in Uganda but I don't recall it off the top of my head.

Sounds like a good option. I will check them out and if they are good, recommend them to my employer. How was the training experience? Hands-on or mostly textbook? I am more of a hands-on person and would love to have a "capture the flag" kind of exam at the end that tests learning outcome rather than a paper-based test.

A company based out of Nairobi that comes to Uganda to train corporates in computer security. It costs about $1900 for a week's course thus it is always a good idea to get a company to pay for your course or subsidise it in some way. Look up their website and/or talk to their regional training consultant Paul Yago on email [email protected] Good luck. Jake.

CEH seems to be something similar learning on how to use tools without learning to understanding the vulnerability or underlying security architectural flaw that causes that vulnerability to exist. I wish to expand my knowledge towards Network Penetration testing. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
