    When I started studying for my CEH v7/v8 it really got kicked into high gear. I was already doing forensic investigations, DLP, wireless security, and setting up SEIM, but CEH training really got me deeper off into it. Me and one of the cats I worked with during that time would take our laptops out at lunch a couple of times a week and go wardriving to put some of that ? to the test. I was surprised at just how many people were still using WEP encrypted wifi in the neighborhoods near the office. A few times we would sit off at Starbucks or somewhere like that with open wifi and start ? with people. My favorite back then was compromising an unpatched XP or Win7 machine with metasploit and getting a reverse shell, running MITM with ettercap to watch their web browsing, then ? with their host file to redirect them to random porn sites if they try to go to something like npr.org or some ? (or doing redirects in ettercap itself) and taking screenshots of their desktops using the reverse shell as trophies.

    fun ? . These days I might just set up an open wifi complete with sslstrip and a few other tools just to see who's stupid enough to connect to a ransom open connection. I'd have wireshark running doing a full packet capture and would later throw the pcap into Netwitness just to see what was there. At our old apartment I would jump on their wifi with a spoofed mac address and intercept all images coming across wifi.

    Gotta keep the skills up. ? may come in handy some day.

    If you know SQL real well you can skip the first level (Helpdesk)

    Between programming, scripting, networking, DBA, and security make sure you have a strong backing in at least one of those

    Anybody can troubleshoot and do helpdesk, companies are looking for more now

    VCP or go home.

    My one regret is that I never took my VCP for Vsphere4. I went through the training and everything (still have the training materials), but just never took the test.

    Lol one step at a time, I'm a beginner in VMware. And you need a course to get the VCP
