Failed The CEH Today

Just got back from the testing center very disappointed because I though I knew the exam pretty well was scoring in the 85-90 % on my practice test and I still Failed with a 57%. I have to go back and study and get ready to take the test again because my job depends on it. So I can honestly say I understand what everyone was saying about the test. It has me really bummed out.

I am sorry to hear that !
What do you think about the V8 course material? I was thinking to stick to the V8 and read extra notes on heart bleed and shell shock, would that b sufficent ?

As for the lab, do we need to know other than the obvious nmap,snort ..... Kindly advice

I just don't wanna waste 500USD...

Thanks for your feedback .

For those who self-study using the AIO book, you may want to supplement by looking at Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures Course Outline | EC-Council.

Read up on topics not covered by your books. For example under Cryptography section,

Case Study: Heartbleed

Case Study: Poodlebleed

Hope this helps and best of luck for those taking the exam.
