I passed the exam for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification today with some relief. The course last week was invaluable, but I was still not overly confident since the majority of the material was new to me. I guess I studied enough though since I passed by a comfortable margin.

Now, I will move on to some self study in preparation for another certification, the Certified Information Systems Security Profession (CISSP). I have about 6 weeks between now and the exam and plenty of material to go through. I’m more familiar with a good portion of what the CISSP covers, so I’m going to skip taking a class. While the CEH class did help, it is hard to sit through a marathon week of class trying to absorb over a thousand pages of technical material. I do not really want to do that again.
