I want to apologize for the lack of newsletters over the last month or so. I went on vacation and when I got home, I got really sick. 3 weeks later and I am just now returning to normal and ready to get back into the swing of things.

We would really appreciate it if you would help your fellow members out by reviewing the books and products that you have used. Career Academy - Reviewed by Prime60minister Career Academy has teamed up with Mile2 to get this excellent courseware on the market. For those who don't know, Mile2 is one of the leading companies in IT security training. They have very good trainers and it shows in this video series. When it comes to CEH, training material is pretty rare. Finding very good material is even harder. Which is why I was really eager to put my hands on this video series. What is even more rare is finding material on the version 4 of the course which was released last october. Happily, I was not disappointed with these videos. It's 8 disks are packed with lots of information which trainer Kenneth Mayer (CEH Trainer, CCSI, MCT, CCNP and CCDA) gives generously. His examples and demonstration are engaging and efficient, showing without any doubt that he knows his stuff. I particularly liked the fact that he shares more than what's in the official course, giving good pointers for tools, trends and websites that can help a CEH in his day to day work. Another good point for this course is the fact that it comes with a printable study guide (one that strangely looks like the official EC-Council powerpoint slides). This gives a lot of credibility to this course and makes is as if you were taking the course in an official classroom. Finally, I warmly recommend this course to anybody who wishes to study on their own for this exam and also for those who are in need of a good review before sitting and completing it A+ Training Guide, Fifth Edition - Reviewed by CapTech I took my tests today, after only reading this book, and heavily concentrating on two websites for review and practice tests. Overall, this was a good book. The hardware points were good and easy to understand. However, the OS portion was a bit lax, and didn't cover some topics as in depth as it needed to. This would be a good book to compliment other study materials, but DO NOT use it as your only resource, as it just doesn't go 'deep enough' under the hood of the OS side to get you through.
