I am thinking of going to the SANS Network Security Conference in Las Vegas (http://www.sans.org/ns2004) to take one of their security auditing tracks (Track 7 (http://www.sans.org/ns2004/description.php?tid=71) or Track 10 (http://www.sans.org/ns2004/description.php?tid=58) ). These are a little pricey and I don't think I can get my employer to pay so I wanted to hear what people thought of these SANS courses (or any SANS courses for that matter).

Also, at what level are they taught? Track 10, at least, looks pretty basic from the outline but perhaps the course is more intense?

Thanks for any feedback
