The CEH course (312-50) is a waste of time. Our lab pc was an unpatched windows 2000 machine. The tools and labs we used were outdated. I have never met anyone else who has taken it. It would be nice to hear if I just had a bad experience or if anyone else has had the same experience I had. This was in 2005, so maybe some things have been fixed since then. My experience was terrible.

So Jay, does Haja still give his <B>"Holy Grail"</B> to students the first day of class?

I took the CEH course in 2007 and we had unpatched boxes, but that was unpurpose when it came to hacking. The outfit I took the course from screwed me out of a $250.00 voucher, but that's another story.

I have never been to their courses, but their exams (version 4.0) were outdated as well. I took this around the middle of 2005 and haven't found much value with it. I don't think EC-Council has their act together at all.

A good site that has good info on ethical hacking is ethicalhacker dot net. It is run very well and has current and relevant materials.

Are any of the EC certs worth anything now a days?
