why I HATE the CEH exam (Certified Ethical Hacker)

[dgmckenzie]

The form actually says "IT Security-Related Experience." 2 years of Help Desk experience resetting passwords, etc. will suffice. It's pretty much you pay $100 to bypass the experience requirement. Which is UNethical in my book. The cert is a trash cert for learning, but it will help you land a job more so than any CompTIA cert. The industry is slowly changing that!

[nightowl]

That was very .... straightforward. Thanks for not talking for like 20 minutes

Yeah it is a joke. The CEH test is easier than the CompTIA Security+. The Sec+ at least covers all the basic security foundations. The CEH felt like nothing more than memorizing a sales brochure of the most popular tools found in Kali linux and knowing which tool matches which type of exploit. Don't even need to know how to use the tool. For such a entry level exam, there should be no way it is so expensive, but ec-council, the makers of CEH, have always been a very money hungry organization, acting far more like a profit, than the non profit they claim to be.

Having these and a few dozen others, I would suggest something more like getting ones security+ first, then maybe something more practical in how to secure devices, like the isc2 sscp. Then depending on ones career target, pick up the pentest+ or CySA+ as your entry and intermediate certs. Then again, depending on end goals, grab a higher end cert such as OSCP, CISSP, CISM, CISA, etc (though hopefully by this time you have been in the industry for a little while so can meet the experience requirements).

I'm really proud that I got my CEH. Coming up on my CPENT too. Really hoping I can pass. Then.. unfortunately.. I will likely need to get my Bachelors Degree simply because most of these jobs are with DoD or government contracted and thats the requirement.

I have never worked so hard in my life to change careers. It just looks fun to pentest

[Khalil-zkkc]

For me I use CEH only for it's content, for me it's better than ejpt or pentest+ Now I am only looking for skills nor certs if I need one I think I will apply for OSCP in the future.

Going through v13 now. Actually not sure why this gets so much hate. The course and Labs are awesome. I also have Pentest+ and it’s not even close. You’ll learn way more with CEH and CEH Master.

i paid almost 1000 for the exam no IT experience i went to a program that was also like 1500

[slowpo]

Every cert exam is expensive it’s ridiculous

[mathiaswowolo]

[NARD]

I want to learn it only because I liked it not for martyrdom

[victorymoses]

I am certified as an ethical hacker, but I need to further more.
I want to get professional certificate, what will be my first step please

[jesusbanda]

CEH is a joke though... OSCP is better and the eLearnSecurity stuff is better.

[boredymcboredface]

Experience is required for CISSP too… not unusual

[KuwarjeetSingh-iobg]

I have a master strategy to clear CEH in a single attempt

[FUNGUS_Josh_Mason]

Agreed. Think your video cuts out early

[hjkhjkhkjh]

Anyone have attended cra-ceh audit exam?

[IDMC]

Option 2 where do you do this course? Please name the organization?

[mercian-man]

Were can I get the information to start off to learn basic hacking skills, in a good way of course. Your a great guy, you get your messages across very well indeed, and I would love just a tiny snip of your knowledge. Thanks for sharing that knowledge with us. Btw do you do 1 on 1s, were people can pay for a lesson on what ever that maybe. I myself think that's a fantastic idea. I would certainly pay for lessons with yourself, to actually communicate and put a tick on my various I.t kind of bucket list. Stay safe my friend, and again, thumbs up for your quality videos. All the best from the UK👍🌟🇬🇧🇺🇸
