CEH Exam

Jinverar

Hello

I have looked on prometric for the CEH test. I could not find the exam. Can someone point me in the right direction for challenging the exam?

Thank you.,

Pretty sure you have to use Pearson VUE for CEH....

No, I used prometric. It's in there, just under the EC Council exams.

You can take it at either. The exams are typically under the vendor name.

I found the exam on prometric under EC council TY. Currently I am still wondering if I should take the CEH exam. in 2010 I passed A+ N+ Sec+. I work in a high security field. in the past few weeks I configured a few cisco switches and routers and am playing with the CCNA Vs the Ethical Hacker certs. Has anyone recently had this debate? if so what was the outcome?

I think the CCNA would give you a better knowledge base before studying for the CEH. I am not saying you have to take the test but the knowledge you would gain from the books would only help you with CEH.

My choice was easy...job said ok CEH/CISSP....I still plan on going back and completing CCNA I have the voucher.....if I had a choice I would do CCNA first.

Couple extra questions

In regards to the C |EH and E |CVP exams, do people who pass these exams have to recertify every three years? example Cisco and Redhat recert every three years with other rules.

If we create cool hacking standard operating procedures is it good to post them to this forum?

Thank you.

You can or you can use continuing education credits for them like the CISSP.

I have a feeling that there are huge numbers of people that use unethical training materials based on the poor level of preparation that goes into bootcamps and students previous experience when entering into that training (and from what I heard them talking about).

Honestly, the exam covers a lot of material, and some of it can get very deep despite the fact that there is broad amount of concepts and material. The ideal background, in my opinion, would be someone that has experience equivalent with the following certifications:

MCSE (2000 or 2003, Security specialization a plus... MCITP EA is not in depth enough on its own)
CCNA Security
Linux+

I don't have a Linux+, but I have considerable experience with Linux. Honestly, Linux knowledge is probably the least necessary, but just a basic set of skills with Linux, like logging in and navigating the file systems via the command-line and running tools.

Otherwise, to really understand the topics, you will need a lot of studying. I have to say that I have not come to terms with this exam... I really felt odd about it after taking it. I am considering developing my own training for it after my sub-par experience at a bootcamp. I have to say that the bootcamp really added nothing to my knowledge.

I totally understand what you are saying. In my opinion experience out weighs certifications

For experience I have over 10 years working in the field. I am a system admin of many windows servers from win 2000, 2003 - and recently building a windows 2008. All systems are under different classifications. I have a great wealth experince on exchange, domino, and linux. I am not so good with cisco but did work on a 2621 xm and 2950 switch for a month or two.

With linux I remember the very first release of backtracks. Currently have the USB bootable persistent changes with nessus. I have my own PBX in a flash (Cent OS) t. Black signals my business is the redhat ready partner and I'm working on that cert for RHSA

The reason why I don't have any certs is due to the military not certifying us......so I am being proactive after CEH going for CCNA and then microsoft or redhat.

Your wisdom is invaluable it's almost like we need sponsors for the computer fields now.

Best wishes. If that is what you can get right now, then definitely go for it. If you have that experience, it will be invaluable... my experience is really the only thing that helped me with the exam. I am at one of the points where I have a lot of employer support for certs, so I have been knocking them out... someday that probably won't be the case again, so I am eating it up while I can. Keep your motivation going.

I would also add some scripting knowledge would be useful as well, but powerfool's assessment is pretty good.
