Hi All,
1 - Before going to start OSCP, i want to know what are the prerequisites for doing it. what certifications or language will add advantage in prepration of OSCP. i am CCNP Security,working as a Network Security Engineer, have a sound knowledge in Firewall (ASA/PIX/Juniper). i am also a RHCE during my previous jobs configured nagios,asterisk,cacti. i have no knowledge in any scripting languages. i dont know any thing about pearl,phython,shell,bash.
2 - i want to know from all of experts should i do OSCP ? whats level of scripting is involved in OSCP ? can an unexperienced person in scripting should do OSCP ?
3 - If i do OSCP will my network security skills will add advantage to it ?
4 - What is the scope of a person who is good in security and if he is a OSCP to ?
Experts thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice which will be provided from all of u.
thx for ur suggestions. as i told u that i am a cisco security engineer i am well aware of firewalls IDS/IPS. these days i am going deep into security and what i found that CCIE security or CISSP only tells you or train u how to secure our corporate networks but these certification dosent explain how hacking happens. according to me if a person dosent know what are the methods or ways a hacker penetrates a network than these certification is of no use in real world.though they can get u a good job.
i googled about CEH or CISSP many gurus of security suggested that OSCP is best as it teaches u from a hacker point of view and provides in depth knowledge of security tools.
from ur suggestions i came to know that a person should be having knowledge of programing languages.
1 Do i have to master all programing language or should i try to master ruby,pearl,bash ?
