Just to say that every comment about CEH seems to be based on
versiones previous to 5 (some comments seems based on books from EC
Council and 2 others that are so far from current EC Council
material).
Today, CEH is the start point and next steps for people who wants to
demonstrate their knowledge and expertise, thtrough certifications,
are ECSA and finally get LPT (if you need this one).
Since the first mail of this thread, I have reviewed every syllabus,
exam topics, exam and labs demos, training videos and so on.
IMHO, there are just three sources for pen test related certifications
: EC Council, ISECOM and Mile2 (based on CEH).
SANS has a lot of certifications that are good complement for CEH,
OPST, OPSA, CPTS and CPTE, but, I can't find an specific pen test
certification from SANS.
Also, as all of you know, there is no certification neither a set of
exams that really demonstrate the actual knowledge of people.
These certifications are just a complement for a professional career.
BTW, I have reviewed some of the recommended training based on videos
and they seem to be just BackTrack courses.
