CEH vs OSCP

It's been eons since I've been on here to update you guys. Thanks for those who faithfully follow this blog, I'm grateful for your attention.

Well, like you all know, I'm still pretty new in this industry. From programming in 2009 - 2011 to IT security from 2012 (as a student) and now as a professional. I've bagged just about 4 years of industry experience altogether. Its been a journey!!

UPDATE
So at work lately, I've been working on a lot of vulnerability findings and analysis aka Pen testing on web applications. It hasn't been great because half the time, I'm confused if I did the right thing and if my findings are indeed accurate but well, I eventually figured it all out.

Based on this, I'm looking to get certified. Previously, I'd been looking into CEH or OSCP. Some swear by the OSCP and others say it's best to start with the CEH. Some others say the CEH isn't practical like the OSCP.

MY OPINION
From my findings, CEH has lots of practical components, and there's a practical exam to it too. OSCP is practical, true and a little advanced in my opinion for someone starting out in this career. If you have 5 years + in Pen testing, then you should go for OSCP.

WHAT's NEXT
As for me, I'm taking the CEH course online and also planning on the exam at some point. The course gives me enough help with practice and everything I need to know. It has also been updated. This is my opinion, I'd like to hear from you too. Thanks

P.S.
Did you all know that Kali Linux Revealed training is free on kali.training website?

Solution 1 - Problems I encountered in my quest 'moving logs to S3'

This is a continuation of my previous post.

Installing Heroku in Kali:
This was my biggest hurdle. I couldn't get this installed in Kali Linux (I am still a novice in Cyber security - pen testing and R.E that's why I'm a researcher). I tried to find all the help I could get everywhere to get Heroku working.

Warning:
If you are doing this and you use mv /source /dest/lib.... don't do this!!! It doesn't install this way
You'll need to do this: /usr/local/lib/heroku/install

Kali Linux installation - VM

For a while I had struggled with installing Linux on Oracle VM and it always fails at some point during the installation.

What I did
I updated my VM and downloaded the Kali light version, then installed it and followed the steps carefully. It worked!!

What went wrong
After installation, login failed. I had to create another VHD to install a fresh version of Kali, only to find out that the username is simply "root" without the quotes and use the password you setup, capische!,..

Let pen testing practice begin!!
