What You Will Learn
This training gives you a full overview of how attackers think and operate — plus hands-on experience with the same tools and methods, so you can test and secure systems yourself.
Part 1: Introduction to Ethical Hacking — fundamentals, attack types, legal and ethical context
Part 2: Footprinting & Reconnaissance — information gathering and passive reconnaissance techniques
Part 3: Scanning Networks — port scanning, service discovery, host detection, OS fingerprinting
Part 4: Enumeration — extracting network and system information, user enumeration, service analysis
Part 5: Vulnerability Analysis — identifying weaknesses in networks, systems and applications
Part 6: System Hacking — exploiting vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, post-exploitation techniques
Part 7: Malware Threats — understanding malware types, behaviour, and defensive strategies
Part 8: Sniffing — network traffic capturing, packet analysis, detection of network-based attacks
Part 9: Social Engineering — human-targeted attack vectors, phishing, impersonation, security awareness aspects
Part 10: Denial-of-Service, Session Hijacking & Evasion — DoS/DDoS techniques, session attacks, bypassing firewalls and IDS
Part 11: Web Server & Web Application Hacking — attacks and vulnerabilities targeting web infrastructure and web apps
Part 12: Hacking Wireless Networks, Mobile Platforms, IoT/OT — wireless security, mobile and IoT/OT system vulnerabilities
Part 13: Cloud Computing & Cryptography — cloud-specific security threats and cryptographic fundamentals
Certification & Exam
After you complete the CEH training, you can register for the CEH certification exam. The exam tests your ability to identify vulnerabilities, understand attack methods and apply defensive techniques using real ethical-hacking tools.
The CEH exam includes 125 multiple-choice questions and lasts 4 hours. You must reach the required passing score, which varies slightly depending on the exam form. The exam is offered through Pearson VUE or EC-Council’s remote-proctored platform.
When you pass the exam, you receive the CEH certification, confirming your skills in ethical hacking and penetration testing. If you also want to validate your practical skills, you can take the optional CEH Practical exam, which includes hands-on lab challenges.
What You Will Achieve
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Identify and analyse security weaknesses in networks, systems and applications
Use professional ethical-hacking tools to simulate real attack techniques
apply reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration and exploitation methods safely and effectively
Test and validate the security posture of web, cloud, wireless, mobile and IoT environments
Understand how malware, social engineering and network attacks work and how to defend against them
Prepare confidently for the CEH certification exam and optional CEH Practical exam
