Course Description
SecureNinja's CEH v13 (Certified Ethical Hacker) training and certification boot camp will immerse students into a hands-on environment where they will be shown how to conduct ethical hacking. They will be exposed to an entirely different way of achieving optimal information security posture in their organization; by hacking it! They will scan, test, hack, and secure their own systems.
The lab-intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be led into scanning and attacking their own networks. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. All of this will be done without harming any real network.
Students will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, and Virus Creation. When a student leaves this intensive 5-day class they will have hands-on understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking. This course prepares you for EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.

The World’s No. 1 Ethical Hacking Certification for over 20 Years
The Certified Ethical Hacker has been battle-hardened over the last 20 years, creating hundreds of thousands of Certified Ethical Hackers employed by top companies, militaries, and governments worldwide.
As “a picture tells a thousand words”, the developers of the CEH v13 have all this and more for you in over 3000+ graphically rich, specially designed slides to help you grasp complex security concepts in depth which will be presented to you in the 5-day hands-on class by our Certified Instructor.
The goal of this course is to help you master an ethical hacking methodology that can be used in a penetration testing or ethical hacking situation. You walk out the door with ethical hacking skills that are highly in demand, as well as the globally recognized Certified Ethical Hacker certification! This course prepares you for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.
This course was designed to provide you with the tools and techniques used by hackers and information security professionals alike to break into an organization. As we put it, “To beat a hacker, you need to think like a hacker”. This course will immerse you into the Hacker Mindset so that you will be able to defend against future attacks. It puts you in the driver’s seat of a hands-on environment with a systematic ethical hacking process.
Here, you will be exposed to an entirely different way of achieving optimal information security posture in their organization; by hacking it! You will scan, test, hack, and secure your own systems. You will learn the Five Phases of Ethical Hacking and be instructed on how you can approach your target and succeed at breaking in every time! The Five Phases include Reconnaissance, Gaining Access, Enumeration, Maintaining Access, and Covering Your Tracks.The tools and techniques in each of these five phases are provided in detail in an encyclopedic approach to help you identify when an attack has been used against your own targets. Why then is this training called the Certified Ethical Hacker Course? This is because by using the same techniques as the bad guys, you can assess the security posture of an organization with the same approach these malicious hackers use, identify weaknesses, and fix the problems before they are identified by the enemy, causing what could potentially be catastrophic damage to your respective organization.
Throughout the CEH course, you will be immersed in a hacker's mindset, evaluating not just logical, but physical security.

FAQs
The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) was created by EC-Council to certify that the IT professional has the knowledge and skills needed to perform vulnerability scans to detect weaknesses in the target system to access important secured systems like networks, applications, and databases. The CEH certified professional will use the same knowledge and skills as Malicious hackers to detect weaknesses but under a lawful and legitimate manner. Unlike Malicious Hackers, a CEH certified professional will operate with the authorization of the system owners and ensure all outcomes remain private.
No, the CEH certification is an intermediate level certification.
No, the CEH certification is an intermediate level certification.
