Hi

My 2 cents:-

  1. Get a confirmation from your company about the this certification (that
    it will add value to your present career in the firm), as usually people go
    for other certs (as this is a very basic one, and probably your money could
    be better invested somewhere else, unless your company is paying for it)
    like C|EH, CISSP, CISA, OSCP, etc.

  2. Also, speak to your manager about the impact of all certifications, and
    then choose whichever one makes bigger impact; IMHO, that's what certs do,
    they elevate your resume;

  3. Technically speaking, I've found that asking questions on forums like
    null, stackoverflow and likes, coupled with lot of homeworks, works better
    than any cert in improving the security knowledge.

Regards
Maanav

Hi,

you may also want to try WATOBO - THE Web Application Toolbox.

WATOBO is a security tool for web applications. It is intended to enable
security professionals to perform efficient (semi-automated) web
application security audits.

Most important features:

  • WATOBO has Session Management capabilities! You can define login
    scripts as well as logout signatures. So you don't have to login
    manually each time you get logged out.
  • WATOB can act as a transparent proxy (requires nfqueue)
  • WATOBO can perform vulnerability checks out of the box
  • WATOBO can perform checks on functions which are protected by
    Anti-CSRF-/One-Time-Tokens
  • WATOBO supports Inline De-/Encoding, so you don't have to copy strings
    to a transcoder and back again. Just do it inside the request/response
    window with a simple mouse click.
  • WATOBO has smart filter functions, so you can find and navigate to the
    most interesting parts of the application easily.
  • WATOBO is written in (FX)Ruby and enables you to easily define your
    own checks
  • WATOBO runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS ... every OS supporting (FX)Ruby
  • WATOBO is free software ( licensed under the GNU General Public
    License Version 2)

Check out the online documentation and video tutorials at
http://watobo.sourceforge.net

andy (author of watobo ;)
