MasterClass Certified Ethical Hacker Program
28 HoursThe Certified Ethical Hacker credential is a highly valued cybersecurity qualification globally.
This program combines instruction with practical exercises to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both examinations earn the CEH Master credential along with their standard CEH certification.
Students have the option to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course in their package.
Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course is delivered to each student through EC-Council’s online, self-paced streaming video program.
CPENT (Pen-test):
Instructs students on applying the concepts and tools from the CEH program to a penetration testing methodology within a live cyber range.
CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches students a methodological approach to computer forensics, including searching and seizing, chain-of-custody procedures, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence.
Course Description
CEH provides a deep understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It teaches you how hackers think and act maliciously, positioning you to better establish your security infrastructure and defend against future attacks. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organizations strengthen their security controls to minimize incident risk.
CEH was designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and a systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate the required knowledge and skills to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures needed to ensure security.
Who Should Attend
- Law enforcement personnel
- System administrators
- Security officers
- Defense and military personnel
- Legal professionals
- Bankers
- Security professionals
About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master
To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. The CEH Practical Exam is designed to give students the opportunity to prove they can execute the principles taught in the CEH course. This practical exam requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.
The CEH Practical exam does not use simulations. Instead, you will challenge a live range designed to mimic a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications.
Successfully completing the challenges in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Successfully passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical earns you the additional certification of CEH Master.
About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical
To prove you are skilled in ethical hacking, your abilities are tested with real-world challenges in a real-world environment. This involves using labs and tools that require you to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a time limit, mirroring real-world scenarios.
The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam consists of a complex network replicating a large organization’s real-life network, including various network systems (such as DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.
About CPENT
EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program focuses on penetration testing and teaches you to operate in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only worked with flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will help you advance your skills by teaching you to penetration test IoT and OT systems, write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to infiltrate the innermost segments of the network.
About CHFI
