- Syi 11y agoI would second that - the OSCP exam that goes with it is one of the best internationally recognised certifications
- yowid 11y agohttps://www.cybrary.it/ https://www.cybrary.it/ From their homepage: "Our free online IT and Cyber Security training classes include everything from industry certifications such as Certified Ethical Hacker, CISSP and CCNA to advanced niche skill sets like advanced penetration testing and cloud administration. Our training includes instructional lectures, interactive lab demonstrations, exam study guides, white papers, case studies and more."
- runjake 11y agoNone of those mentioned certs involve advanced penetration testing, let alone basic penetration testing.
- runjake 11y agoTHE hands on training to take is OffSec's starting with the PWK training (and accompanying OSCP certification). https://www.offensive-security.com/information-security-training/penetration-testing-training-kali-linux/ https://www.offensive-security.com/information-security-trai... Ran me something like $1,500 for the course and 90 days of lab time. Had a blast. The CEH and Security+ certs are "hands off" certs. The CISSP is more oriented towards policy and higher-level stuff. Obtaining the OSCP will make you immediately employable in at least a junior level position.
