Ask HN: Are Certifications Useful in Infosec?

I came looking into the comments for tptacek's reply.

To the OP, take it from him and look no further. Get yourself enrolled in some learning course like the Matasano's crypto challenge and see where that takes you. Good luck.

truer words were never spoken

cryptopals was the reason I got into security, everything just pales in comparison.

It always makes my day when people say stuff like that, though cryptopals probably wouldn't be in my top 3 entry-level things for people otherwise considering a certification. Thank you!
