in CEH
TO be honest I thought it was very safe forward and had no difficulty taking it. I do see the basic concepts for CND purposes, however I do not understand the hype on it. For as simple as it was I am great full I passed. What I used to study is listed below:
SKill Set Pro
C|EHv9 form Sybex
The practice test from Blockmon for CEHv9
That was about it. The test itself is pretty straight forward and only requires a little studying depending on your background. If you have worked in a JOC, NOC, or SOC then you should do just fine. If you haven't then you should brush up on a few things do some practice tests get Security + first then take C|EH.

Hope you dont mind if I ask ; is Skillset really worth the money? It seems to be like you get the videos ..and you can skip the freetext answers other than that its the same as free - is that it?
I cant answer for the OP, but in my experience I think the Boson examsim was worth the money.
To the OP: congrats
tomorrow? good luck! let us know how it goes.
@product- SkillSet Basic is sufficient, Yesterday I passed CEH V9; have posted my experience awaiting Mod's approval.
Appreciate the response, I've run through the testing engine and averaged about an 88%...it helped me identify things that I need to focus on in the last 24 hours (SNORT and policies seem to be the big ones for me). I think the key for me is going to be reading through each question and answer set...I tend to try and hurry through.
Do you think that the questions are designed to eliminate obviously wrong answers? Based on the response in other threads I'm getting the picture that they are not written to include many blatantly incorrect choices.
Can you please guide me, should i go for EC-Council's CEHv9 full courseware which costs 1400$ or is there any other way.( i cannot afford this amount; i dont live in US ..
My Background being Network Security Engineer and having experience 2+ years.
Thanks alot

This should be enough.
@ahmed-531- From my personal experience, SkillSet Basic should suffice, I have briefed out my experience on CEH V9 which I took & passed on 19th August(awaiting MOD's approval).
You should get it within 2-3 weeks in my experience. Once you have that you will also get to see a more detailed report of your score
Congrats by the way
