Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CEH exam format?

The CEH (ANSI) exam consists of 125 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 4 hours. The passing score is 70%. Questions cover 20 modules across ethical hacking concepts, reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, system hacking, malware, sniffing, social engineering, DoS, web application attacks, SQL injection, wireless hacking, mobile platforms, IoT, cloud computing, and cryptography.

How much does the CEH certification cost?

The CEH exam voucher costs approximately $1,199-$1,699 when purchased with official EC-Council training. Self-study candidates can apply for an eligibility application ($100) and purchase the exam separately ($950). CEH Practical (6-hour hands-on lab exam) costs $550. CEH Master requires passing both exams.

What are the CEH v13 new features?

CEH v13 introduces AI-powered ethical hacking tools and techniques, expanded cloud security coverage (AWS, Azure, GCP), enhanced IoT and OT hacking modules, updated web application attack vectors, modern malware analysis techniques, and hands-on labs with the latest hacking tools. The curriculum covers over 550 attack techniques across 20 modules.

What are the CEH eligibility requirements?

To sit for the CEH exam without training, you need 2+ years of information security experience and must pay a $100 eligibility application fee. Alternatively, you can attend official EC-Council training (live, online, or through an accredited partner) which waives the eligibility requirement.

How do I maintain my CEH certification?

CEH certification is valid for 3 years. To maintain it, you must earn 120 ECE (EC-Council Continuing Education) credits within the 3-year period and pay an $80 annual membership fee. ECE credits can be earned through training, conferences, teaching, research, and other professional activities.

What is the difference between CEH ANSI and CEH Practical?

CEH ANSI is a 4-hour, 125-question multiple-choice exam testing theoretical knowledge. CEH Practical is a 6-hour hands-on exam where candidates must demonstrate skills in a live lab environment performing ethical hacking tasks. CEH Master is awarded to those who pass both exams. CEH Practical tests actual hands-on ability rather than just knowledge.

What jobs can I get with a CEH certification?

CEH certification prepares you for roles including Ethical Hacker, Penetration Tester, Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Vulnerability Assessor, Security Consultant, and Red Team Member. CEH is recognized by the DoD 8140 (8570) for cybersecurity positions and is often required for government cybersecurity contracts.
