Q: " Why doesn't Wright-Patterson AFB want a CEH-certified curriculum?"

USAF's response was as follows:

A: "CEH-certified courses tend to focus on teaching the student how to use a handful of tools that are available on the internet. While this knowledge is so mewhat useful during a penetration test, our goal is to expand on this and learn how to turn our results into a professional report. Most of our students know how to use these tools, but need to learn the methodology behind a full penetration test. This methodology could include identifying protection opportunities,justifying testing activities and optimizing security controls to reduce business risk."
