Isn't half of learning how to hack learning to be resourceful enough to find information on it, or at least finding tools online and then learning how to use them? I just don't learn that well in a class room, I learn better by actually *doing* stuff. Also, I agree with R0n1n. Who would want everyone to know that you're a hacker when everyone's so afraid of them nowadays? I looked up some information from the site and the "how to learn to be a hacker" course is like $3,000 bucks for a 5 day course. They say it covers hotel lodging and meals but that's still way out of my price-range. I'd rather buy a book. The "social engineering" class is almost $2,000.
