CEHv8 = Pwned. ; )

So, I knocked out the CEHv8 exam this morning with a 92% (which means I only answered 10 wrong out of 125)

. The exam wasn't overwhelming, but I must say the wording of the questions was rather poor. I read over each question 3-4 times before I answered, and that seems to do the trick. The time allotted for the exam is 4 hours, I sat it in 1 hour (including reviewing any questions that I flagged). All in all, a fairly tough exam but definitely passable if you have some hands-on experience with Pen-Testing.

If you guys have any questions feel free to shoot, I will post my study-notes as soon as I can.

Next up....the one...the only...the CISSP!

Books -->Sybex: Official Study Guide for CEH and Hacking: The Art of Exploitation v2
Labbing --> I used BackTrack, Kali, python, C, metasploit, nessus, nmap, snort and a slew of script kiddie tools.

I also have several years of hands-on experience, so this helped as well.

Honestly, I took about a month of hard studying/labbing to prepare.

The cost was 600 total (500.00 for the exam and 100.00 for the eligibility fee).

Congrats!!!

Shame to see that they haven't taken all those outrageous costs and fees and applied them to a proper localization or better re-write...

I agree, 4 hours is overkill.

Congrats on the pass! Do you really need 2 years of information security related experience or they just suggest you have that experience?

They will verify with current/previous employers to make sure you have the experience. It is a requirement to be eligible to take the exam.

I would take the C)PTE... half the cost $300 vs $500 test and $100 'application/steal your money' fee)and worth twice as much. (IMO)

Well, so much for the ECC saying that they had completely rewritten the CEHv8 questions for quality. Maybe it's just a new question pool from CEHv7 and not better editing. I'm interested in seeing your study notes to understand how to tackle studying for CEHv8.

Congratulations!

I'd love to see your study notes ttoo!

Would you post your CEH note? I'm interested to see how other people prepare for the test. I am about to take it by the end of January

I know they aren't TechGuy215's notes, but here's a post I wrote about the exam: Passed the CEH exam yesterday - ' OR 1=1 --

Nail all that stuff and you should be fine.

It is a requirement, but not a absolute requirement. You can still take the exam with no experience but you must take a official EC-Council course from a school. https://cert.eccouncil.org/application-process-eligibility.html
