DALLAS, Texas, April 14 /CAUNewswire/ --

CAU announced today it's first offerings into the Information Security
Certifications market, providing an overly generalized certification,
the CAU Certified Information Systems Security Practitioner (C?ISSP?),
as well as it's first specialized certification, the Hacker And Xtreme
0day Researcher (HAX0R?) certification.  "The white-hat community has so
many damn certs, it's hard to tell many of them apart." ventured I)ruid,
CAU's Founder and CHO, "It's time for the black- and grey-hat community
to get a piece of the action."  CAU has also implied that it intends to
one-up the white-hat community by making all of it's certification
processes FREE, as in "free beer," not as in "free speech."

The C?ISSP? is a certification targeted for mid- and senior-level
hackers who are working toward or have already attained unemployment or
covert positions as janitors, secure document disposal personnel,
surveillance system technicians, or Senior Security Engineers.
Essentially, it's meant to be the inverse of the white-hat CISSP
certification.  intropy, CAU's Lead Vulnerability & Exploit Researcher
had this to say about the new certification: "They only got one 'C', WE
GOT TWO!!!"

The C?ISSP? is an overly generalized certification spanning a breadth of
hacker underground subjects conveniently categorized into ten manageable
domains, called the Common Body of Information (CBI?), which consist of
the following:

      * Hacking 
      * Phreaking 
      * Anarchy 
      * Viruses 
      * Cracking 
      * Software Development 
      * Radio & Wireless 
      * Hardware & Electronics 
      * Intelligence / Counter-Intelligence 
      * History, Community, & Culture

The HAX0R? certification, CAU's first specialized skill certification,
is targeted toward all hackers who specialize in vulnerability and 0day
exploit development.

Certifications can be found at the organization's website, under the
Certifications area:
