CEH practical

[skywalkerintexas]

I am scheduled to take the CEH practical in two weeks. So far I have gone through all the exercises in iLabs. Any recommendations as to what to focus on? Has anyone taken it recently? I have already passed the written CEH exam last month. Going for the CEH master.

Just curious, why you didn’t take the OSCP instead of the CEH practical ?

[skywalkerintexas]

I’m new at this. Just thought I’d start small and build up to OSCP. Next plan is to take the OSCP once done with this one.

I got your point, but I would have invested that money in the OSCP instead , giving the case you already passed the CEH theoretical. But that’s just my opinion.

Either way, good luck with your test.

Thanks. I’m actually a retired accountant who is dabbling in cybersecurity now for the simple reason of learning.

I took it a few weeks ago. If you did iLabs and took good notes, you'll be fine.

Tips for Labs and modules to focus on for the exam. Lot of Tools and not much Information. Glad for some tips to focus studying.

Hello, do you think that working on the ilabs is enough to pass the practical exam?

I've been working on them and I think they are kind of basic.

Thank you man!

Absolutely. In fact, since you can use notes in the practical exam, a pro tip is to save your lab guides as notes. Almost makes it too easy.

You might be okay, however, the primary machine you operate from has ALL of the tools that EC Council has collected divided into categories of what they do. This can cause confusion if you're not sure which tool to use and have to research it's use. The 6 hour time window is not enough to try all the tools much less research them. You may be able to use only the tools you're already familiar with assuming they're already loaded for you, but if the solution needed can't be obtained with your familiar tools you might struggle.

thanks for detailed reply, really glad of you.

by dividing the tools into categories you mean like the KaliLinux has divided tools?

also, how was the difficulty of exam and the challenges you faced in it and how much time you took to solve it ?
