Michael-

I just got finished taking the OSSTM Professional Security Analyst (OPSA)
class here at Black Hat in Vegas. Don't waste your money. The instructor
admiited that it was the first time the course was offered in the US, and
still needed some work.

A bulk of the course content had absolutely nothing to do with the exam. If
they actually taught more things that were on the exam, it might have been a
better course.

If you want to learn OSSTM, read the info on the web site, and wait another
year or two for the training to improve.

Cheers.

Can anyone comment on the classes and certifications that are now associated
with the OSSTM? I'm trying to take the OPST course here in Dallas, but there
doesn't seem to be much interest - so I'm afraid the class will be
cancelled. Is it just new and unknown?

Thanks in advance,
Michael
