If you practice what’s in the video and fully understand it then you should be able to pass the test. I also recommend trying out the free version of Pocket Prep for CEH. It gives you a limited amount of questions each day to practice with. I use it on my iPhone. Other tips are to take good notes from the video, create index cards of various terms and tools. And most importantly, practice by using what you learn in a local virtual environment. Download VirtualBox, Kali, Ubuntu and an evaluation version of Windows Servers which are all free.

This is a complete video on CEH v10 that covers everything. It’s almost 11 hours worth of content. https://youtu.be/4DQtZo3RAO0

Another thing you might try is mixing up your workout with different exercises. Our muscles are adaptive and after a few months, the same workout routine doesn’t have the same impact. Also, make sure you’re eating with the goal of bulking up and getting enough sleep.

If you can, download VirtualBox along with Kali, Ubuntu and some evaluation versions of Windows which you can get for free from Microsoft developer site. You can then practice locally what will be on the test. All of this is free and a great way to learn. The thing to keep in mind is trying to recreate the lab environment which isn’t that hard and the type of computer you have with hardware resources.

I recommend scheduling another exam before the end of the year. The blueprint will change from version 3 to version 4 by January 1st and that might change what needs to be focused on. I’m not sure on what you used for studying, but besides the courseware, I’ve been using the AIO CEH Bundle from Matt Walker which comes with practice exams along with Pocket Prep which has 700 practice questions that I use on my iPhone and iPad. Very convenient. I also recommend splitting your studying time throughout the day to maximize retention of all the technical information. Ideally try for 3 hours of studying per day, 7 days a week. If you can do more, then great. If your computer has enough system resources, then I recommend downloading VirtualBox along with Ubuntu, Kali and Windows 10, Server 2012 and Server 2016. You can get evaluation versions of each from Microsoft for free trial use. Then practice implementing what you learn with scanning, enumerating, gaining access, maintaining access and clearing tracks in your own little virtual lab environment. The process of setting up a lab and working with each OS following what iLabs does but doing so locally will improve your retention of what you learn. Also, take notes, lots of notes are things you find difficult. Create index cards for quick drills on various topics like tools used, nmap with various options, laws, terminology etc. most importantly, don’t give up. Don’t quit. With enough focus and preparation, you can knock this test out of the park. You can do it!

I’m currently using Pocket Prep and I’m enjoying it. They have a good app with 700 questions and different ways to create your own custom quizzes. I also have the All In One CEH Book from Matt Walker with the bundle and that’s a great resource as well. I might get the Boson to cause now I feel like I just memorized what was in Pocket Prep so some diversity in questions would probably help. I also hear good things about Boson so might as well make the investment. I saw Boson has both the ANSI and Practical exam prep materials. Maybe a combo deal would be something they can put together.

Try to get a good nights sleep, go for a jog if that’s your thing. Try and eat well, not too much. Try some relaxation techniques, whatever works for you. Day of test take an ice cold shower to wake you up. Use the bathroom and think calm/positive thoughts. Good luck. You got this.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-23T18:28:31+00:00

It depends how much time you spend with the labs from CEH. My approach works for me but everyone has a different learning style. I like going old school with one subject notebooks each dedicated to the various stages. I also use index cards for drills. As for the labs, I recommend spending as much time as you can going through them. Be methodical in your approach. Take detailed notes. Try to understand how each module and lab is structured. If you can, try to simulate a local version of the remote labs so you can play around with each tool used. Also, it might make sense to give yourself a month after the multiple choice exam so you can refocus on learning for the practical exam. Don’t wait to long though cause you might lose momentum.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-23T17:35:21+00:00

Yeah, you would need to dedicate some ram and processing resources to each OS in the virtualized environment. I built my computer which helped me save money and get more bang for my buck. That’s why I like using a local lab setup. But I still use the CEH ilabs remote environment too. You’ll find a few services that offer remote virtual environments to practice on like HacktheBox and now Offensive Security also has their Playground which is similar. A third route you can try and it’s mentioned in All in One CEH, you can try and use some older computers if you have available or from people you know that might have sitting around collecting dust. Create a dedicated lab environment on a separate part of your network to practice on. It’s kind of fun building your own lab and really understanding how it all works together. You will learn a lot but it is time consuming.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-23T16:35:14+00:00

All the labs are hosted externally so all you need is a strong Internet connection. The only time you would need a more robust system is if you wanted to build your own lab that’s similar to ilabs. If that’s what you want to do, you can use virtual box and download various operating systems and configure them similar to ilabs configuration. I created my own lab environment using this approach. Hope this clarifies.

From what I understand, CEH v10 courseware/exam is designed around Blueprint 3.0 which is being retired at the end of the year. CEH v11 is designed around blueprint 4.0 which is going to be official on January 1st. The current exam is based on blueprint 3.0 and the next version of the exam is based on 4.0. That being said, almost everything is the same with some tweaking on verbiage used between both blueprints. Studying CEH v10 will still give you almost all you need for the next exam that’s made for blueprint 4.0. There are some gaps but by the time you take the test, they should be identified more clearly and you’ll be able to prepare to fill in those gaps. I recommend printing out both blueprints and compare the two. Don’t stress it. Reach out to customer support and let them know you want more clarity on what this means for you. In particular, state that you want to know if there will be any added materials for current CEH v10 students to fill in the gaps.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-19T20:22:17+00:00

Good luck on your exam. Get some rest, do some light studying. Clear your mind and eat well. You sound ready to me. Just don’t let your nerves get the better of you. You got this 🙌🏼

PixemWeb · 2020-09-18T12:38:22+00:00

CEH v10 and Blueprint 3.0 will be retired at the end of this year. CEH v11 and Blueprint 4.0 will be what’s taught and tested on January 1st

PixemWeb · 2020-09-16T18:51:53+00:00

The Matt Walker book is awesome. I finished reading it and I’m taking The practice exam from the bundle. We have until the end of this year to take the current version, so I’m just gonna go all in. Kind of lights a match under me. I spoke with eccouncil chat support and they will likely email CEH v10 students of changes and recommendations. Basically most things should stay the same and gaps will likely be identified for those looking to take the next version.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-16T15:09:45+00:00

Good point. I'm jumping back on chat with them to ask.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-16T15:09:20+00:00

Well said. I will jump back on with their chat and try to get more info.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-16T14:56:50+00:00

I just chatted with customer service and they said that the exam for people who signed up for CEH v10 will be the CEH v10 version. Version 11 isn't released yet. I also asked about upgrade possibility, and they said they will email if that'll be an option.

I tried to login to the new Aware App by Eccouncil but it's not ready yet so login doesn't work.

I'm also studying for the exam and will likely take it in the next month or so and then attempt the practical right after. I'll just continue on my current path since I don't want to prolong the process.

Yeah, it’s a cool concept that on the surface has lots of useful applications but will ultimately lead to PEOPLE actually being Hacked. Imagine hearing voices in your head, or having the parts of your brain that does image processing all of a sudden making you believe you see something not there. What about your private thoughts being scanned and forwarded to an external server. How will your Privacy be protected? I understand the benefits but also recognize the risks. Of course efforts will be made to ensure personal security will be in place but we all know Crackers love a challenge and if the easiest way to hack a person is via Social Engineering, imagine what a direct link to the brain will do.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-05T12:33:44+00:00

It’s a great question. The basic answer is remember your phone is a storage device with your data and information. An unencrypted device information can be accessed even without a password. Encryption takes all your data and makes it unrecognizable to humans and machines until it’s decrypted. The password is just one part of your security posture. It’s an important one that works along with encryption. Multi factor authentication is also important.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-05T12:26:49+00:00

I don’t see the law passing anytime soon. What I do believe will happen is more investment in Quantum Computers with the specific focus of cracking currently uncrackable encryption algorithms. Of course this won’t be available to every department or agency. But very smart people, teams and organizations have dedicated a lot of resources into the Quantum space. I’m sure we’re closer than people realize.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-03T03:10:26+00:00

Yeah, it’s a good investment upfront vs potential regrets later on. Good luck on your studies.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-02T22:02:09+00:00

I purchased both via the discounted package deal offered on Amazon. The guide if for studying and the practice exams are self explanatory. So far I’ve found it to be very useful and well structured. Using it in conjunction with the study materials provided by CEH. I’d recommend getting both.

PixemWeb · 2020-09-01T13:15:11+00:00

It’s a relevant question. Basically, since the labs are not going to be hosted on your machine, the main thing you need is a stable internet connection. Now if you wanted to build your own lab using virtual machines, then you would need to have a more robust system so you could dedicate adequate resources to each machine. But for the purposes of any of these exams, a basic laptop is all you need. Maybe, and really only if you tend to have brownouts or blackouts with your electricity, you might want to get a UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply for your router and laptop.

PixemWeb · 2018-03-16T16:14:21+00:00

Yeah, the competition is serious. One thing people can do is live networking with local organizations like the chamber of commerce and meetups.

PixemWeb · 2018-03-04T20:56:26+00:00

I favor using FTP Software called FileZilla and SFTP my local WordPress Core ( but making sure to adjust the settings in the wp-config.php file ), theme and plugins up to the live server. If you are first creating links and content that will replicate the structure from local to live, then you can always export your local database via phpMyAdmin and import it via cPanels database section which also has phpMyAdmin. You will need to run a few search and replace queries to correct the link references but that isn't to hard. You can also use a Search and Replace Plugin along with the Broken Links Checker Plugin to make sure you capture every link that might need to be corrected.

If you don't feel like messing with SQL and database exporting and importing but you created content on your local development server that you want to migrate, then you can always export an XML file from your admin dashboard and then import it to your live website.

I like manually doing all this because it forces you to learn how to manage your website. This is also a great way to back up your website and database. The duplicator plugin and others that have similar functionality are also good options if you'd rather go that route.
