@fifonetworks@infosec.exchange The certification industry is a racket. Folks I've worked with that touted their certs were not good at their jobs, to a person. Not one. Had a guy, (CCNE I think) who thought that because a competitor put their WiFi AP's near our business to steal our customers, that we could put up our own with their SSID, and overpower the radio. A lawsuit ensued and we lost. I busted the same guy "hacking" the CIO's Lotus Notes by stealing the CIO's id file and he sent a reply to an email to me under that account. Another person, an MCSE, put all the users in the domain admin group. The reason? It decreased the number of requests regarding permissions issues and software installs. All these certs prove is that you can take a test.

@scottymace@infosec.exchange @fifonetworks@infosec.exchange look, I earned my MCSE cert back in the 90’s and it’s a damn good thing I did! Now I know what WINS does! (Well I used to)
