The advice is pretty good overall, but the excessive profanity is unprofessional and distracting.

It is interesting that he values "SANS" certifications, but not the courses for them.

I strongly disagree. Most security shops I've been in are made up of people who are blunt and speak exactly like that. You absolutely do need to be able to conduct yourself professionally in a professional setting, but when giving advice to folks I tend to use the most informal language I have, which sometimes means this level of profanity.

Not sure how it's distracting.
