I am at a stage of my ethical hacking career that I am seriously considering the notoriously difficult OSCP certification. Let me explain why I would introduce a blog post on Certified Ethical Hacker review by mentioning another post comparing CEH to OSCP. After reading the post, I immediately shared it with my colleagues. One of them will be undertaking the CEH course and exam shortly. He asked me to advise him on how to approach this undertaking.
