I hate to continue this thread but i just have to ask.
"What was Kevin thinking!!!!!"

I mean for ISC2 to approve him taking the test would be the surest way to
brand it as a Hakor certification and ruin it for everyone who has the
credential. Did he really think they would let him? I mean, Im sure
ISC2 might have some flexibility for some individuals but comon, Kevin is
the poster child for hackers all around the world (remember "free
kevin"?). It would be akin to letting a multiple convicted DWI felon take
the commercial drivers test and drive a tour bus. Im sure Kevin is
totally reformed this time (all of us in the security business hope) but
that doesn't mean we have to validate his status.

I'm not being a kevin basher here, ive actually followed his 'career' for
some time out of professional curiosity and Im sure it sucks being him
right now. However hes made his bed (multiple times mind you) and now hes
going to have to sleep in it.

Some career advice for Kevin: If he is ever going to get hired in this
business, it will be purely on the basis of his celebrity, having
credentials isnt going to mean a thing one way or the other. Hes probably
better of writing a book or getting a gig on techTV or something like
that. Keep him away from working directly with computers for his sake and
ours.

Best of luck to him and you.
