I'm a certified penetrator

Okay that title is a bit loaded but I did pass my GIAC penetration tester exam today and did fairly well on it. As with most of the SANS certifications this one was quite difficult. I believe the only reason I did better on this exam then my previous SANS certifications exams was due to knowing in advance this is one of SANS more difficult exams to sit for (i.e. I actually studied). There were a number of very cool topics on the exam you can see here. My favorite topics were probably “Cross Site Scripting/Request Forgery” attacks since I was not as familiar with these concepts. I highly recommend a SANS certification to anyone looking to further their knowledge in information security with great vendor neutral certifications.
