    Petr,
    
    There are 2 very interesting courses from Isecom.org
    (http://www.isecom.org):
    These classes focus on the right methodology, ethics, law, understanding of
    the tests, lifecycles of security tests, organisational aspects, etc... In
    other words, more than just using the tools, but understanding how to use
    them in the best way possible. These courses are based on the Open Source
    Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) that is an open source
    methodology to perform professional and complete security tests.
    
    - OSSTMM Professional Security Analyst (OPSA):
    " The premise of the training course is to provide a variety of hard and
    soft skills to the security professional. The training course focuses on the
    analytical skills and security knowledge necessary for security and risk
    analysis and the business skills required for successful security team and
    project management. This course is not about just passing the exam. This
    course is about bringing the combined, international knowledge and
    experiences of security team leaders and security consultants to bring depth
    and insight to the training. "
    
    - OSSTMM Professional Security Tester (OPST):
    "  The premise of the training course is to support the necessary knowledge
    transfer for a person to be considered a capable, resourceful, and
    self-sufficient security tester. The training course focuses on the
    technical skills necessary for security testing and the business skills
    necessary for providing justification, efficiency, and understanding
    contemporary business and security needs. "
    
    Cheers,
    Martin

    > Hi,
    > could you recommend me some valuable PenTest training ?
    > I know already how to use nmap, ping/traceroute, nessus, hping, nemesis,
    tcpdump/ethereal, ettercap, I know how to do passive fingerprint of OS, use
    various honeypots etc. etc.
    > However, there is always something new to learn, I'm sure. I did some
    research of available training courses on the Internet and I'm not sure
    which could be valuable to me, as I do not need to spend time learning
    'nmap -vv -sS -P0 x.x.x.x'.
    > Besides programming skills and researching new vurneabilities (and keep
    running on learing track), is there any good training out there ?
    > Thanks a lot
