The EC-Council (www.eccouncil.org) Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certifi-
cation is designed to qualify skilled information system security professionals
in performing ethical attacks against target information systems to assist an
organization in developing preemptive approaches against hackers. A CEH
understands the tools and methods used by malicious individuals against net-
works and applies his or her skills to help organizations identify vulnerabili-
ties in their systems.
The CEH Prep Guide prepares candidates for the CEH certification examina-
tion by providing in-depth coverage of the latest hacking techniques required to
pass the qualifying CEH 312-50 or ECO-350 examinations. The subject matter is
presented in a concise, professional manner in an easy-to-understand format
and includes review questions at the end of each chapter to test a candidate’s
knowledge of the material. The included CD, with many hundreds of questions
and answers, also serves as a self-paced examination review and knowledge
reinforcement tool.
In addition to technical content, the CEH Prep Guide emphasizes the legal
and ethical requirements associated with ethical hacking and the increased
professional responsibility that goes along with the CEH certification.
Because this book provides a focused presentation of the CEH material, it is
extremely valuable to professionals seeking to advance their careers, levels of
competence, and recognition in the Ethical Hacking and penetration testing
field. The knowledge gained is applicable to commercial, industrial, military,
and government organizations.
The CEH certification also makes an individual a much-desired employee to
an organization. This professional brings the knowledge of security threats, pen-
etration testing, vulnerability analysis, risk mitigation, business-related issues,

and countermeasures to an organization along with the means to upgrade an
organization’s defenses in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The CEH has
knowledge of both offensive and defense measures in order to protect an orga-
nization’s information systems.
To sit for the CEH certification examination, a candidate must either have
attended a CEH course at an EC-Council Accredited Training Center or prepare
through self-study. In the self-study path, the candidate must have at least two
years of information system security experience endorsed by his or her employer.
If the candidate does not have two years of experience but has educational expe-
rience, he or she can submit a request to EC-Council for consideration on a case-
by-case basis.
No matter which path the CEH candidate chooses, the CEH Prep Guide is a
valuable tool for acquiring the necessary knowledge to prepare for and pass
the CEH exam. The clear and detailed explanations of key ethical hacking top-
ics along with the hundreds of review questions greatly increase the candi-
date’s chances of success when taking the CEH examination.
The CEH Examination Application Form (ECO-350) can be downloaded from
the EC-Council website (www.eccouncil.org/CEH.htm) and the completed form
should be faxed to the EC-Council at +1-212-202-3500 for verification. After ver-
ification, the candidate will receive an eligibility voucher number that can be
used to register and schedule the test at any Authorized Prometric Testing Cen-
ter globally. The cost of the examination is USD 250.
EC-Council offers two examinations: Exam 312-50 and Exam ECO-350. Only
students who have undergone training at an EC-Council Accredited Training
Center are eligible to appear for the Web-based Prometric Prime Exam 312-50.
Self-study candidates are authorized to sit for the ECO-350 Exam at an Autho-
rized Prometric Testing Center. Both exams are identical in source and lead to
the CEH certification.
The examination comprises 150 questions with a four hour time period
in which to complete the exam. The exam duration is four and one half hours
for Non-English speaking countries. A score of 70 percent is required to pass
the exam.
The CEH Exam can be retaken with no restrictions or waiting period, if nec-
essary. The CEH certification is valid for 2 years and EC-Council Professional
Education Credits (EPE) are required to maintain the certification. If the can-
didate passes the examination, he or she will receive a welcome kit in eight
week’s time.
