Forum Thread: Anyone Taken the C|EH Exam Lately?

nice! congrats! phew. I've been freaking out. Did you take the bootcamp or any prep course? If so, which ones? Any tips would be appreciated.

I had to sell several of the EC books over the summer and while I was adjusting the prices, I took a gander at the reviews.

Almost all of them bashed the books for being too outdated or not going into enough detail.

The EC-Council CEH exam is not that hard. If you study the material here on Null Byte and know it well, you should pass.

right on. I appreciate your input OTW!!! I was hearing things about hard drive failure rates and costs, cloud failure rates, and a bunch of ?s on the risk mgmnt framework (categorize, select, supplement, document, implement, assess, authorize, monitor) and I can't say I've come across that info on any of the materials I've gathered so far. Maybe I missed some on here. Anyways, I've studied my asssss off using the materials on here and going through the entire CEH exam prep on skillset ( I know it's not official exam prep and only tracks your progress, I just don't know what else to call it). I'm at 95% prepared according to them. I'm very excited for the exam, I know it's certainly not exactly the most prestigious bc it doesn't demonstrate hands on skills but it's a start for me bc I have zero certs/degrees & an ed background in healthcare. Taking a gigantic gamble in completely switching careers.

I don't know seriously why you are wasting your money and time. . . This is the first time I am hearing a person saying C|EH is very tough. Actually they are always one step beyond the present technology and their techniques are like a child play. Nothing is going to give you knowledge unless and until you yourself practice a lot and learn a lot other than their methods and theory. It is the worst course I think I have taken i my life. I have done C|EH and E|CSA.

I did their courses thinking that I can gain good knowledge and can join a reputed company. But I struggled for both for a long time. Then after I almost lost hope of getting a job in infosec field thinking that this Prestigious certification would definitely get me a job, I started doing my self learning.

At last now I got placed as an Information Security Analyst. My employer didn't even care to ask about my Certifications. He just said I need talents and not the C|EH.

If at all you still need to get C|EH then ping me privately. I will guide you through the process of achieving it with ease. I can assure you of that.

Very true. IT experts must always learn because technology is always advancing. New holes open up, so we must find new defenses.

I would agree with most of this assessment of the CEH. First, it is outdated. Second, it is easy. Third, it is not well-regarded by employers.

I passed!! Whoo-hooooooo! Anyone who'd like some tips for CEHv9 I'd be happy to provide!

Congrats!

thanks OTW :) Very excited. Thank you for helping me pass with your materials!!
