MasterClass Certified Ethical Hacker Program
28 HoursThe Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a highly regarded cybersecurity credential globally.
This program combines theoretical instruction with practical exercises to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both exams are awarded the CEH Master credential along with their CEH certification.
Students have the option to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course in their package.
Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course is delivered to each student via EC-Council’s online, self-paced, streaming video program.
CPENT (Pen-test):
Instructs students on how to apply the concepts and tools learned in the CEH program within a penetration testing methodology in a live cyber range.
CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches students a systematic approach to computer forensics, covering searching and seizing, chain-of-custody procedures, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence.
Course Description
CEH provides an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It teaches you how hackers think and operate maliciously, enabling you to better design your security infrastructure and defend against future attacks. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organizations strengthen their security controls to minimize the risk of incidents.
CEH was designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and a systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures required to maintain security.
Who Should Attend
- Law enforcement personnel
- System administrators
- Security officers
- Defense and military personnel
- Legal professionals
- Bankers
- Security professionals
About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master
To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. The CEH Practical Exam is designed to allow students to prove they can execute the principles taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.
The CEH Practical exam does not contain simulations. Instead, you will be attacking a live range designed to mimic a corporate network through the use of live virtual machines, networks, and applications.
Successfully completing the challenges found in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Successfully passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical will earn you the additional certification of CEH Master.
About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical
To prove that you are skilled in ethical hacking, we test your abilities with real-world challenges in a real-world environment, using labs and tools that require you to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a time limit, just as you would face in the real world.
The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam is comprised of a complex network that replicates a large organization’s real-life network and consists of various network systems (including DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.
About CPENT
EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program focuses entirely on penetration testing and will teach you to perform in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only been working in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will teach you to take your skills to the next level by teaching you to pen test IoT systems, OT systems, as well as how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to reach the innermost segments of the network.
About CHFI
The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course delivers the security discipline of digital forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is a comprehensive course covering major forensic investigation scenarios and enabling students to acquire necessary hands-on experience with various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools necessary to successfully carry out a computer forensic investigation.
