    • a CEH v12 Exam Voucher from EC-Council.
    • 6 months of free access to Hands-On Labs
    • eCourseware from EC-Council with course kit .
    • taught by CEI Certified Trainers.

    What are the prerequisites for joining the Ethical Hacking Course?

    Having prior knowledge of networking systems, operating systems, and programming languages such as Python, C, or Java can be helpful before joining Edureka’s certified ethical hacking course.

      How to become CEH Certified?

      To become CEH certified you have to pass the CEH official examination after either attending CEH training at an Accredited Training Center like Edureka or through self-study. Candidates doing self study have to fill out an application and submit proof of at least two years of experience in the network security domain to appear for the CEH official exam.

        What will you learn as part of this course?

        This CEH certification training course provides hands-on hacking experience with the Cyber Kill chain, evaluating target systems for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses, and finding the weakest link in an organization through concepts like social engineering. Learners will learn how hackers operate, what tactics they use, and how to apply those tactics in a professional setting to identify weaknesses in their organization and apply remediation strategies before their organization becomes the next victim of a cyberattack or breach.

          What are the objectives of this Certified Ethical Hacking course?

          The objective of this CEH training is to teach the latest commercial-grade hacking tools, techniques, and methodologies used by hackers and information security professionals to lawfully hack an organization and become certified for building a career out of it.

            Is CEH a hands-on program?

            Yes! Every concept taught in CEH is backed up by hands-on labs hosted in our Cyber Range. The training itself is divided roughly 50/50 into lecture and discussion (50%) and hands-on labs (50%). Additional hands-on practice is available in our labs with objective-based CTF-style flags to challenge your critical thinking and applied knowledge, then reinforced with our practice range, followed by 12 months of live competitions all executed in our Cyber Range, 100% hands-on and applied. We strongly believe that you can’t really learn to hack by reading a book; you must practice. If you are considering CEH, roll up your sleeves and get ready for an intensive hands-on program where you will practice and hone your trade craft as an ethical hacker!

              What does a CEH do?

              CEH is hired by organizations either on contract or as full-time employees to help improve the organization's security posture. CEH is a required baseline certification for many different job roles, but the function of ethical hacking itself involves a methodical practice of identifying, evaluating, testing, and reporting on vulnerabilities in an organization. Ethical hacking course is a broad practice that covers many different technologies, but by systematically applying the methodologies taught in the CEH program, ethical hackers can evaluate nearly any application or infrastructure they are tasked with, identify potential vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations on how those vulnerabilities can be remediated. In the case of military organizations, ethical hackers are highly trained in offensive and defensive activities and possess the critical skill sets and tactics to evaluate target systems and defend their organization's assets in real-time.

                Who is a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)?

                A CEH professional is a specialist typically working in a red team environment designed to attack computer systems and gain access to networks, applications, databases, and other critical data on secured systems. A CEH recognizes attack strategies, the use of creative attack vectors, and mimics the skills and creativity of black hat hackers. Certified Ethical Hackers operate with permission from the system owners and take all precautions to ensure the outcomes remain confidential.

                  What makes this course different from others in the market?

                  The CEH v12 training program focuses on hacking techniques and technologies from an offensive perspective. This advanced security program is regularly updated to reflect the latest developments in the domain, including new hacking techniques, exploits, automated programs, as well as defensive recommendations as outlined by experts in the field. The CEH body of knowledge represents detailed contributions from security experts, academicians, industry practitioners, and the security community at large.

                    What are hacking techniques and their technology?

                    Hacking techniques refer to ways and means by which computer programs can be made to behave in ways they are not meant to. These techniques go beyond the technology domain and can be used to test security policies and procedures. Hacking technologies refer to the tools and automated programs that can be used by perpetrators to cause critical damage to an organization. With the advancement of technology, pre-compiled programs are available that make it easier to execute a hack with a simple point and click.

                      Is this CEH Certification course accredited?

                      Yes, Edureka's Certified Ethical Hacking course is accredited by EC-Council.

                        How will I execute the practicals?

                        The practicals are conducted on EC Council-designed Hands-On labs, and you do not need to install anything on your system to execute them.

                              Why do hackers use Linux?

                              Linux is completely free and open source which makes it easily accessible to everyone in cluding hackers. Rather than paying subscription for other operating systems hackers prefer to download the Linux OS and use it.

                                What are the roles and responsibilities of ethical hackers?

                                The main responsibility of an ethical hacker is to identify vulnerabilities and security threats within a system. They not only identify these vulnerabilities but also work towards eliminating them to make the system secure against cyber attacks. Ethical hackers are actual hackers, but they have committed themselves to helping victims and improving cybersecurity measures.

                                  Ethical Hacking Certification

                                  It is recommended that you have a minimum of 2 years of IT security experience before taking the CEH exam. Beginners can start gaining experience by learning how hacking tools and techniques are used in real world environments. You can find more information here: https://www.eccouncil.org/academia/essentials/.


                                  According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the field of cybersecurity is rapidly growing with projected job opportunity growth of 33%. Globally, there is an insufficient supply of qualified people creating amazing opportunities for CEH in nearly every industry.


                                  We know that not all certifications are created equal, and deciding to get certified is an investment for you in both time and money. For over 20 years, EC-Council has worked to build the best Ethical Hacking Certification on the market. As a certification body, we ensure the topics covered in our examinations as well as the training that prepares you directly relates to the job roles and skills employers need. Our ANSI 17024 accredited examination goes through rigorous job task analysis, careful curation of exam domains, extensive work to build world-class training and hands-on components to provide candidates with an intensive hands-on experience throughout the program. CEH is recognized by various governments around the world including the United States Department of Defense, GCHQ in the UK, and various others. EC-Council employs full-time content teams that work all year long on program design and maintenance, ensuring each CEH student receives the most up-to-date, relevant information as they pursue the ethical hacking certification. Currently on Version 12, CEH version releases are paced every 12-18 months, depending on major trends in the market, new tools, vulnerabilities, operating systems, and much more.


                                  The CEH Exam is an ANSI 17024 exam, which means it goes through extensive external validation to ensure the examination itself is fair for the knowledge and experience level of our certification challengers. With the recommendation of 2 years' experience in IT Security or Official training, candidates attempting the exam need to possess strong knowledge in computing systems, networks, and a variety of other IT topics. The examination itself uses Cut-Scores to determine pass/fail results, and cut scores are carefully set by psychometricians who regularly evaluate test question performance and average pass/fail results throughout the life of the program. Reviews from our certification members with limited experience or background have rated our exam as difficult, while more seasoned IT and IT security professionals rate the exam as moderately challenging even after official training. You may review the exam domains and the exam blueprint here to learn more:https://cert.eccouncil.org/certified-ethical-hacker.html.

                                  A simple search on Salary.com for positions based in the United States shows that certified ethical hackers make an average of $103,866 per year, with 90% of them earning above $130,000. Experience, education levels, and other certifications can add even more value in most cases.

                                  If you are interested in taking the CEH certification Examination, you must first meet the eligibility requirements. There are two paths to eligibility:


                                  1. Attend official training through EC-Council's online learning platform, iClass, or through an Authorized Training Center (ATC) such as Edureka. All candidates who attend official training at Edureka and are deemed eligible to attend the training will have direct access to the examination, which can be proctored at the training center, online using EC-Council’s remote proctoring service, or at over 4,500 VUE testing centers worldwide.

                                  2. 
                                  Eligibility Application – If you have sufficient experience and do not require training in the domains of the exam, you may choose to skip the training and challenge the exam directly. If you do not attend official training, you must apply for exam eligibility at https://cert.eccouncil.org/application-process-eligibility.html. After your application is processed and approved, EC-Council will work directly with you to determine the best delivery method for the exam, and you may then challenge the 4-hour certification exam as scheduled.

                                  Currently in its 12th version, EC-council’s ethical hacking course is a very well-known certification in the cybersecurity space. A simple search of global job ads on LinkedIn (as of August 2022) shows over 32,000 available jobs requesting candidates with a certification, representing over 72% market share in job ads placed by employers across Career Builder, LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed, Monster, and Naukri, compared to other certifications such as SANS GPEN, OSCP, and Pentest+.


                                  The certified ethical hacking course is the most in-demand cybersecurity certification which the majority share of job roles demand of candidates. CEH is also recognized as a baseline ethical hacking certification by the United States Department of Defense for its cyber workforce. Also, CEH is the backend content for over 1,200 colleges and universities worldwide offering computer science and cybersecurity degree programs.


                                  Knowledge, skills, opportunity, respect, and proof - these are all words associated with the CEH for many of our certified members. The program offers unparalleled knowledge and skills covering the widest possible set of domains in cybersecurity, while the certification itself demonstrates to employers that you are qualified for the job and serious about proving it. Holding industry-recognized, ANSI-accredited certifications proves to your current or prospective employer that a third party (EC-Council) has evaluated your knowledge and skills and conferred a certification to you based on your accomplishments in the program. Certified ethical hacking course opens many doors as the practice of ethical hacking serves as the backbone to a variety of specialized roles in cybersecurity. With reasonably priced training and certification available globally, CEH is a small, short-term investment of your time


                                  Although EC-Council is not a staffing agency or recruiter, we have connections with numerous employers looking for Certified Ethical Hackers.

                                  EC-Council does not publish the pass rates for the exam. However, the typical pass rates worldwide range from 60% to 80%. To help you prepare for the exam, we provide a variety of test preparation materials and official training.

                                  Yes, candidates who wish to bypass official training and take the exam directly may apply for eligibility. If your eligibility is approved, you can directly take the examination. For eligibility guidelines and the application process, refer to the "How do I get certified?" section in the above FAQ.

                                  Although there are some valuable resources on YouTube, including informative and entertaining topics, EC-Council does not publish its official training on YouTube or with authorized partners. Although many self-published videos claim to prepare you for the CEH Exam, they are not an alternative to Official CEH Training and will not be accepted as a study method when applying for exam eligibility.

                                  The most common way to prepare for the exam is through official training. Certified EC-Council instructors use official EC-Council training materials that are specifically designed to cover the various domains included in the certification exam. In addition, the CEH exam includes over 50% hands-on activities in a live Cyber Range, where you can practice and apply the knowledge and skills learned in the course against live virtual systems in a controlled environment. Students also receive official exam Prep test banks, which include mock exam questions divided by domain, to evaluate their readiness level for ethical hacking certification. Although we strongly advise utilizing these resources to prepare, if you choose the direct eligibility route, you can self-assess your competency in each area based on your knowledge and experience levels and review the domains covered in the exam and the exam blueprint to decide if you are ready to take the exam. Students enrolled in official CEH training are entitled to free retakes based on their package, while retake exams are available for others for a fee.


                                  The exam is a 4-hour scenario-based examination with multiple choice questions. Each question is weighted to the domain and objective and has its own cut score. The exam has multiple forms that rotate with different questions in each form. The cumulative cut score is calculated as the aggregate of all question cut scores. This rotation creates multiple passing score variations based on the exam form you receive. Typical passing cut scores range from 65% to 80%, providing a fair approach to exam performance per ANSI 17024 testing standards. Your exam transcript will show both the cut scores and your achieved score, which will be available immediately after completing the examination.

                                  You can retake the examination as many times as you want. But there is a mandatory 14 days of waiting period before you can retake the exam each time. 


                                  Your CEH certification is only valid for 3 years and you have to renew it by earning 120 credits during that period. You have to maintain the CEH certification like other certifications in your domain. Here is the EC-council policy which outlines the requirements, which are available here: https://cert.eccouncil.org/ece-policy.html

It is designed to test an individual's knowledge and skills in identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in computer systems and networks, and to use this knowledge to strengthen and secure them.

                                  Whether or not a course is worth it depends on several factors, such as your career goals, level of experience, and the job market in your area. Here are some factors to consider:

                                  • Career goals: If you're interested in a career in cybersecurity, specifically in ethical hacking, then getting a Certified Ethical Hacking course would be the right step to take.
