Ok...my take is that the official EC Council courseware is NOT the one
to use to study for the CEH exam, RIGHT?? If so, what are the
alternatives. I do have a home network ( a linux box, xp, 2k and
cisco router) and have been doing inhouse hacking (if you will). I
downloaded the exam objects and have been learning towards these
objectives.

So....should I use the official EC Council courseware or do an intense
school route??

Thanks!
