How difficult is CEH Test ?

iammi

Hello every one,

I have almost 3 years experience in all, working mainly in Identity and Access management, some practical experience in PKI, Cryptography, Strong Auth ...

Still working to improve my theoretical knowledge about IT security.

I want to take CEH exam in the medium-term, but dont know how difficult is.

My knowledge about hacking is theoretical, I have no practical experience.

Before starting studies for CEH I want to know how difficult is this certification, is it requiring sharp skills in hacking ? or just serious preparation and practical labs can be the way to pass ?

Please give me your opinion

Thanks in advance

My opinion based on the current exam is that practical experience will do you much better than studying exam questions. But you dont need to be a pen tester, you need to get some experience using the tools of the trade. Grab a computer, throw some vm's on it and learn the CEH process. Use and learn the best tools in each step of the process. Do this and you will do fine.
