Certified Ethical Hacker Ceh Cert Guide 1st Edition

need to have a good understanding of Networking and PC operating systems, to be able to understand the contents of the book.

This book is very enlightening. It is a good source for learning about ethical hacking. I like this book a lot.

It is really good book, but I found some mistakes in it. I think it is not from author of it.i.e. It says:The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks : Class A network IP address range = 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255, Class B network IP address range = 172.31.0.0–172.31.255.255, and Class C network IP address range = 192.168.255.0– 192.168.255.255.Look at the Class B range they are not correct and I saw them few times in this book.

As part of my prep for the CEH v8, I used this book as my primary reading source. I read it through cover to cover twice. After other prep, I missed the exam by three points. I was shocked when I took the exam and it seemed like there were a lot of things that either were not covered by the book, or mostly were not presented the way the book presents it. This book covers WAY more tools and things than is covered in the exam, rather than cover all of the exam objectives thoroughly. Come to find out from some other folks that just failed the exam, the one thing we have in common is using this book. However everyone else I've read about passing, have used the older Matt Walker CEH All In One that was made for the v7. I switched to reading that version of the CEH All In One and it's a WORLD of difference in the material presented and how it's presented.I give this book a 1 star as an exam prep book (and a 1 star overall because that IS the stated purpose of the book), however as an on the job or reference book I would give it a 5 star as it lists a ton of tools and sites that you could use to perform the functions of a CEH.

This is a very informative certification study book. I needed to study for the new v8 exam and I think this will help a lot!

Great book

The book is an excellent study guide for the CEH v8 test. I definitely recommend it in preparation for the test.

This book is worthless for the CEH exam. It is pretty good reading material but this book just as the previous poster said is worthless for the exam. I took the exam yesterday and while I studied each chapter very carefully I managed to constantly score mid 90's on the practice exam only to fail the real exam.Again, the book is good for reading material but DO NOT think you can read this book and do the practice questions and pass the CEH exam. When I got into the real exam there was about 3 question on the real exam I could relate to this book. Now I have to go back and pour over the labs in the EC Council books I received.
