Here's a question, I started doing the self-study for the CEH v6 back in November and had to put it on hold due to work getting busy since we are integrating a new system. What is going to happen to the v6? I am guessing it will eventually retire but how quickly? Can I "upgrade" from v6 to v7? I am worried that the content I will be studying will be out of date and useless when V7 hits. Its unfortunate since I can not attend a live class and the flexible classes never met my schedule either. Anyone have any insight?

Thanks,

Tom

You will be able to take v6 for approx 6 months after v7 is launched. Personally I would be careful taking v7 based off of v6 material, if only because the v6 material is focused at older OS'. You may not know the attack vectors for a monern OS that will be tested such as vista/W7.

I opt for self study, found the red exam prep book pretty awesome, the got the sybex(not the review guide) to double check afterwards. Now it does makes sense to wait a little for the new study material to be available before taking the exam. i dont want to go write with the knowing that its gonna be outdatad in least than a month.

if anyone stumble upon the new books, let me know, im keen on getting them and start drilling at it again. (abigdeale@gmail.com)

Do you know if there's CBT videos out yet for CEHv7? Or other self-study videos, books?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of anything yet. Likely not to see anything until at least next week after this initial rollout.

I can tell you this... From my earlier CEH, this v7 class covers significantly more tools (albeit, mostly overview, as a week-long bootcamp simply doesn't afford the time to get deep into too many tools.) But we're into day 4, now. I'll do a detailed review next week, after the bootcamp is over.

Nice job hayabusa! Was the exam part of the class or did you just schedule it for the last day? I've got the CEH class (hopefully) pending, but I didn't think the exam was included as part of the class.

Thanks!

Probably depends on who you took the class through, etc. Usually, bootcamps I've taken (from all different vendors and certs) come with an exam voucher for 1 attempt, but maybe not all places have that in their package. I DO know that for the v7 rollout this week, all students in our class got 1 free attempt. I chose to take my exam right after class, which you can often do in these.

Just finished the class and exam today (passed....barely). While i never took any of the earlier exams or classes the course material for V7 is essentially death to trees by powerpoint. There are plenty of websites referenced in the back of the books but the books themselves do not provide any additional information beyond bullets in the pictures or what's contained in the labs. We had significant issues with some of the labs but i believe most were due to the fact that it was the first time through for the instructor. I suspect that there will be significant improvements as the feedback makes it back to EC Council.
