we were planning to send another guy this year and people from our foreign partners suggested to do it locally. from the original $4000 tag price, we were able to get it to $2500 - with the help of our sponsors, Siemens and Stonesoft. some guys in the local circles knows a lot about this stuff (probably even more) but the courses offered by such companies (ultimate hacking/extreme hacking) have been around for years and they've been constantly updated. these guys are really good (not just a marketing hype), they've been contributors in the open-source community for the last 5-10 years (BSDs/SNORT) and affiliated with recognized security organizations such as AusCert, SANS and i believe both of them are CISA.
even though we are co-organizing this with eSec but with that price, honestly we're only sending one guy. just one. hope to see some of you in there..

I downloaded the pdf file and I liked what I saw except
the PRICE!!!!
$2,500.00 !!! @#$%^&*@#$%$^&&*&!!!
multiply that by fifty and you have PHP125,000.00
That's almost half a year's salary!!!
Which got me to thinking, why don't some of our local
security
guru's(orly,dido,vince,etc.) get together and offer a
similar course at
the fraction of the cost!!! =) I can even probably help
with the venue.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
