Trimmed to list I'm subbed to...

These "ethical hacker" degree programs are, IMO, basically a scam.
I've screened ppl for interviews at work and basically learned to ignore
anyone whose only significant qualification is one of these programs...

Amazing how they can get certified and not even know the diff 
between the passwd & shadow file, or su vs sudo, or the most 
BASIC shit...
