I done the course in University, following the exact curriculm for the certification. It's a good course, has a lot of insight into the hacking psyche but the stuff is outdated in my opinion. The reason being is the stuff getting taught is old methods of hacking, but this is due to the nature of security and exploitation, as the get patched all the time. The theory behind it is good but.

 

One of the places I go for work is security-forums.com There are lots of CEH's there. look them up they are a friendly bunch.

 

Thanks for the link, Dave - appreciated!

 

Any time!

 

It's on my to-do list.

I've skimmed over the syllabus for the exam and it all seems somewhat straightforward.
Like Sco0t said, the techniques are outdated but are still valid in the mindset needed for a hacker.

After the CEH if you're going down the security route like me, you would be expected from your role to have standard exploit knowledge, exploits which aren't released to the public yet and be able to create them (obviously giving you a niche in the security market). Easiest way to get hold of these is to hop onto some boards/irc chans. So it might be worthwhile to establish yourself in these sort of 'groups' now, so you do have access to unreleased exploits when the time comes.

good luck
