MasterClass Certified Ethical Hacker Program
28 HoursThe Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a highly sought-after cybersecurity credential globally.
This program combines instruction with practical application to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both examinations earn the CEH Master credential alongside their standard CEH certification.
Students can choose to add either the CPENT or the CHFI course to their package.
Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course will be delivered to each student via EC-Council’s online, self-paced, streaming video program.
CPENT (Pen-test):
Instructs students on applying the concepts and tools taught in the CEH program within a pen-test methodology in a live cyber range.
CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches students a methodological approach to computer forensics, including 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 act maliciously, positioning you to better set up 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 is designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and a systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to work toward proving the knowledge and skills needed to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures required to remain secure.
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 was designed to give students a chance 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 does not contain simulations. Instead, you will challenge 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 requiring 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 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 binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to get into 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.
