Study Notes
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Overview
- The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification validates knowledge and skills in ethical hacking techniques.
- It focuses on security assessments and penetration testing to identify system vulnerabilities.
- CEH certification demonstrates expertise in proactively identifying security weaknesses, mitigating risks, and improving system security.
- The certification covers hacking methodologies, tools, and techniques.
CEH Exam Topics
- Footprinting and Reconnaissance: Gathering target system/network information, via passive or active methods.
- Scanning Networks: Identifying hosts, services, and open ports on a target network to understand vulnerabilities. Techniques like port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and network mapping are included.
- Enumeration: Gathering detailed info about identified systems and services to find weaknesses. Techniques include querying systems, analyzing service banners, exploiting vulnerabilities.
- System Hacking: Gaining unauthorized access to systems by exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, and protocols. Techniques such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, and privilege escalation are usually covered.
- Malware Analysis: Understanding malware behavior, characteristics, impact, and identifying malicious code.
- Sniffing: Intercepting and analyzing network traffic to identify security threats. Different sniffing techniques and implications are explored.
- Social Engineering: Understanding social engineering tactics (phishing, pretexting, baiting) and exploiting human weaknesses. Emphasis on tactics, scenarios, and countermeasures.
- Denial-of-Service (DoS): Understanding how to disrupt services by overwhelming them. Methods, tools, and countermeasures to DDoS attacks are a focus.
- Cryptography: Understanding cryptographic principles for secure communication and data protection. Algorithms, techniques, and protocols are discussed.
- Wireless Networks: Focusing on vulnerabilities and attacks associated with wireless network technologies. Weaknesses in wireless protocols and infrastructure are explored.
- Evading Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Techniques to bypass security measures are studied, emphasizing intrusion techniques.
Certification Benefits
- Improved Career Prospects: CEH certification enhances employment opportunities and earning potential.
- Enhanced Skill Set: Practical, hands-on learning in diverse security areas is a key benefit.
- Professional Recognition: Industry-recognized certification demonstrating expertise.
CEH Exam Structure and Preparation
- The CEH exam uses multiple-choice questions, testing knowledge and practical application.
- Practical experience, hands-on training, study materials, workshops, and scenario simulations are crucial.
CEH Certification Maintenance
- Continuous professional development (continuous education and industry exposure) is often required to maintain CEH certification.
