I hate the certification industry, it prevents talented people from participating, particularly younger and less well off. If you want to learn online #investigations I'll teach you everything I can with live support absolutely free. osint.team #OSINT #infosecjobs

If you can get an employer to pay then go for @SANSInstitute because @mcafeeinstitute stinks of stock photography and shyster marketing. Not to mention these people kick ass. @jms_dot_py @WebBreacher @kirbstr @baywolf88

An @OReillyMedia subscription ($39) and @jms_dot_py course register.automatingosint.com/python-course ($45). These are what young #infosec / #OSINT investigators. Should be spending money on. Keeping low monthly payments allows people to get the skills while paying for quality.

I'm not paying $$$ to protect YOUR organization, it's supposed to pay me. Go get the skills not the certs. Just sit back and watch as they get #phished left and right. Eventually the #HR department will be so desperate for #hacker talent they might wise up and drop that certs.

Perfect representation provided by EC-Council website. It's one cert after another, not a problem from people IN #infosec. However if your NOT these are just never ending walls. If I was an employer I would be more interested in #whitepapers, #bugbounties and #OpenSource.

I'm done ranting now, sorry followers!
