CEH practical
CEH Practical is a six-hour, an ANAB-accredited and US DoD 8140 approved rigorous exam that requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, web app hacking, etc. to solve a security audit challenge.
The hands-on exam will test you to your limits in unearthing vulnerabilities across major operating systems, databases, and networks. It is not a simulation exam. It mimics a real corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications, designed to test your skills. You will be presented with various scenarios and will be asked to demonstrate the application of the knowledge acquired in the certified ethical hacker course to find solutions to real-life challenges.
Furthermore, you will be given limited time, just like in the real world. The exam was developed by a panel of experienced SMEs and includes 20 real-life scenarios with questions designed to validate essential skills required in the Ethical Hacking domain as outlined in the CEH Program
