Hi Technocrat,
I done CEH from EC-COUNCIL.
Contact offline me on devgujar[at]gmail[dot]com.
BTW where are you from ?

Stay away from Ankit Fadia.
You can also consider CISSP, one of the best certifications for security proffessionals or try to get certified in Cisco PIX / Checkpoint firewalls along with software firewalls like MS Forefront and Linux Firewalls.

AFCEH batch 3 version 5 qualified(77%). Took the test in March 2011 and am yet to receive the certificate ! Total course fee= 8k+ (7k course fee and 1k+ in calling Reliance Web World for certificate inquiries). The slides and video lectures were recorded at least 4 yrs. ago(hence most of the techniques are outdated/have been done with). Also, the test conducted at the end is very tough, and students generally answer only a few of them(kept tough deliberately for students to take the re-exam). I don't think I have anything left to say ! ! :banghead:

Take the test only if you have to show-off before others, cause Ankit Fadia is a popular youth icon ! :machinegun2:
