Re: self study SANS GIAC rip-off

["Williams, Marn PENC:EX" <Marn.Williams () pensionsbc ca>]

GIAC certifications are not to be taken lightly and are worth every penny. GIAC and SANS have spent prodigious effort 
to make their courses and certifications some of the most highly regarded in the industry. For example, the GSEC 
security certification is now second only to the CISSP as one of the most desirable OpSec certifications you can get.

And you have to work for them. You won't find study guides or brain dumps. You are able to take the exam without a 
course, but you better be really good. And don't forget, you will have to re-certify in 4 years.

For cost savings, check the Self-Study packages.

And, no, I don't work for them.

Hi folks

I wish to pass the "GIAC Certified UNIX Security Administrator GCUX" exam.

But sadly this is a rip-off

- SEC 506: Securing Linux/Unix $3,396
- GIAC GCUX Certification Attempt $499
- OnDemand Bundle $399

Didn't find a study guide on Amazon. How to prepare for and take the exam with no more than $900 costs? Any book with 
similar topics like the exam objectives?

cheers Sven
