Our wireless guru, Dan Hoffman, takes a stab at CEH. He shares his experiences while on the self study route and offers his thoughts on the process along the way. If you are going for CEH, this article is worth your time.

He completely hits the nail on the head.  I would copy everything he says 100%.  Good write up.

Interesting article. What amazes me is that he used 2 different study materials, both of which he gave very negative write-ups and still managed to pass the exam. The only positive thing he says is - Read the Hacking Exposed books towards the end. Pity he didn't elaborate a bit more about them.

The materials from EC-Council gets horrible reviews.  Check out Amazon.com to see what we mean.  Hacking Exposed 5th edition helped me out significantly.  If you study the modules you have fro that book of yours, read Hacking for Dummies and Hacking Exposed you will so fine.  Also, playing with NMap and other fun tools doesn't hurt either.  I remember specifically SQL injection questions.  Hope this helps my friend.

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but for the benefit of anybody who found this article on Google and is wondering if it's still applicable over 3 years later - it is!  The test itself is not too bad, but the study materials are a real slog, and one does get a sort of lost-in-translation feel from them.  More importantly, PrepLogic has fixed none of the issues with their terrible practice exam, and their satisfaction guarantee isn't worth the electrons it's printed on.  Only thing that's different is the price has gone up to $139.

Hey guys,

So, as the newly minted managing editor of the company, I've just sort of stumbled into this fiasco.  I mentioned in another forum that we were looking for some help updating our stuff to version 6, but it looks like the exam itself might be in question.

I don't want that.  Ultimately, because I'm not a CEH, we have to rely on the word of our authors and tech editors that the products we put out are both technically accurate and actually helpful.  If this exam is not, then I want to fix that, if I can.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I've seen this, we're aware that there's a problem, now and are fully willing to solve it.  Now we just have to identify what's actually wrong.  Wink
