Drum Roll Please…………

It’s been a couple of weeks since I have updated the blog. I hoped to get a post out about SANS FOR610, but that will have to wait. Thursday evening I I received an email from Jeff Frisk about my GSE results!

Naturally my wife had been working late, was on the way home but she was still a good 30 minutes away. I called her and told her I got the results, she said OPEN IT NOW! Who am I to disagree?

I open the email and after the greeting I saw the words Congratulations! I immediately began celebrating and realized I would not have to sit the test again. Right then I decieded to take the rest of the evening off and relax with my family and celebrate.

After getting the results I started reaching out to others who took the exam with me. So of them passed, others had to write a paper, and so of them will have to sit for the exam again. Regardless of the outcome the people who sit for this exam should be proud of themselves! I do want to give a special congratulations to my fellow newly minted GSE’s:

• Ahmed Abdel-Aziz
• Skip Duckwall
• Brian Estep

There a ton of people who I would like to think, co-workers, authors’ of books listed in the blog, people I follow on twitter, and friends. Two people I want to think personally are Ash (who will be a GSE very soon!), and Chris. Finally, I want to say thank you to my family for their support and understanding during the entire process as well.

With the GSE knocked out, it’s time to start blogging about something other than the GSE! My next blog post will be about SANS FOR 610 Reverse Engineering Malware, then on to more technical post!
