MasterClass Certified Ethical Hacker Program
28 HoursThe Certified Ethical Hacker credential is a highly coveted cybersecurity certification globally.
This program blends instruction with practical application to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Those who successfully pass both assessments earn the CEH Master credential alongside their CEH certification.
Participants have the option to enhance their package by including either the CPENT or the CHFI course.
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 pen-test methodology within a live cyber range.
CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches a methodological approach to computer forensics, covering searching and seizing, chain-of-custody, 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 helps you understand how hackers think and act maliciously, positioning you to better secure your infrastructure and defend against future attacks. By understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities, organizations can strengthen their security controls to minimize incident risk.
CEH was designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to prove the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures needed to maintain 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 was designed to allow students to demonstrate their ability to execute the principles taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to show the application of ethical hacking techniques, such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.
The CEH Practical does not involve 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 your skills in ethical hacking, we test your abilities 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, just as you would in real life.
The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam consists of a complex network that replicates 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 entirely on pen-testing. It teaches you how to operate in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only worked in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will help you take your skills to the next level by teaching you to pen-test IoT systems, 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 penetrate the innermost segments of the network.
About CHFI
The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course delivers the security discipline of digital forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is a comprehensive course covering major forensic investigation scenarios and enabling students to gain necessary hands-on experience with various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools required to successfully carry out a computer forensic investigation.
