Re: Best route to penetration testing learning

Hello,

There will likely be many opinions on the matter but a quick link or
two to help get you going, would be
http://www.offensive-security.com/  While not an easy certification to
be sure, it will likely be one of the most realistic in terms of
actually using Penetration testing tools within a realistic network
environment.
For an extensive collection of free information regarding using
metasploit and some other pentesting tools, check out
http://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/Metasploit_Unleashed_Information_Security_Training
as well.

Hope that gets you started.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
