Hey,

a little background: i have been working as a network&web application pen-tester and as a programmer for the past 6 months or so,
i also passed a few months back the ecppt Gold exam (practical pen-testing exam).
link to what the exam includes: ECPPT GOLD - Practical Penetration Testing Certification
link to the elearn course syllabus: http://www.elearnsecurity.com/course...syllabusv2.pdf

Note:there were labs in the elearnsecurity professional penetration tester v2 course (web and network).

Anyway i would appreciate some advise on my next step.

Im thinking of going for the penetration testing with backtrack (oscp exam) however im not really sure i will gain much from it.(Please note i dont actually care about the certification, all i care about is the knowledge i can possibly gain from the course/exam).

Can someone who took the course tell me what i might gain from it that i haven't already from the elearn ptpv2 course?

Also in the course will i be writing my own exploits or just modifying previously made exploits? and if you do write your own exploits, will they be more advanced then just basic stack-overflow exploits?
