Hello guys

I have the CEH practicals tomorrow.

I practised the CEH engage and Ilabs as well.

But I am still scared to attend. Is it enough for tomorrow ?

Anyone who passed the practical’s exam recently, any advise for tomorrow ?

Things I need to know for the exam.

1. Can I use AI for the exam

2. Will I get a break in between the exam.

Wish me luck guys.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing for the CEH Practical exam and need some guidance with a web application challenge.

I found a flag by manually changing a URL parameter, but the exam marked my answer as incorrect, even though it matched the required format.

I also tested the parameter using SQLmap, but no SQL injection vulnerability was detected.

Has anyone encountered something similar? Could you share what approach or methodology helped you solve it?

I'm not looking for the answer, just some guidance.

Thanks in advance!

I know I'm slightly off topic; I feel this community is positioned to benefit from the info.

EC-Council is running a public beta program for three new AI certifications, offering free exam vouchers to selected participants. No education or instructional materials are included in the beta.

There is a catch: The public beta ends November 30, 2026, so you must TAKE the exam by that date.

Nonetheless, some of you might benefit from this opportunity.

The three certifications are:

1. Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics (C|RAGE)

• C|RAGE Certification Description

• C|RAGE Exam Blueprint

2. Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (C|OASP)

• C|OASP Certification Description

• C|OASP Exam Blueprint

3. Certified AI Program Manager (C|AIPM)

• C|AIPM Certification Description

• C|AIPM Exam Blueprint

Here's where you apply: AI Program Beta Testing Form

Selected February 2, 2027, as my CEH Practical exam date. The portal shows it as selected and lets me choose a time slot for February 2, 2027.
Guess what? it then shows November 14/15, 2026!

How difficult is it to get a basic calendar and scheduling system right?

EC-Council charges a premium for its certifications, yet can’t even get exam scheduling right. Absolutely frustrating and pathetic!

I purchased a 6-month course/lab access. Barely a month later it became inaccessible. Support now says it expired, and I have to buy it again and they sent a payment link. Pathetic!

I’m taking the CEH Practical exam soon. If you took the most recent test and passed, what tools got you through?

How helpful was sGPT?

Also if anyone in kerala who studies in technovalley software institute pls dm or share your experience

I mean, I suffer from learning disabilities (concentration issues) and I find the Vital Source materials to be absolutely horrible to read and go through, mixed and often depreciated.
I often ask myself how is it so badly presented when its a very expensive and popular course, folder opening another folder opening a list of content that has no clear marking and content differentiation making it hard to carry on reading / taking notes and stay on topic.

How have you done to keep it up so far? Any trick you could give me?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to take the CEH Practical Exam (the 6-hour practical exam) in about a month, and I would really appreciate some advice from people who have already taken it.

I’d like to know what I should expect during the exam and how best to prepare.

A few questions:

- What topics and practical skills should I focus on?

- What types of tasks can I expect during the six-hour exam?

- Are the labs included in the CEH Practical preparation course the same as, or very similar to, the tasks you encounter in the actual exam? In other words, if I thoroughly practise and understand all the CEH Practical labs, will that be enough?

- I’m currently working through the Junior Penetration Tester path on TryHackMe. Is this sufficient preparation, or would you recommend additional learning resources or platforms?

- Are there any particular tools, techniques, or areas that I should spend more time practising?

- How exactly does the exam environment work? My understanding is that I log in to EC-Council's exam platform, where I get access to a virtual lab environment (VM) and perform all the tasks there. Is that correct? Do I need to download or install anything on my own computer beforehand, or is everything provided through their virtual environment?

If anyone has taken the exam recently, I would be extremely grateful if you could share your experience, preparation strategy, or any tips on what to focus on.

This exam is very important to me, and I really want to make sure I use the remaining month effectively and don't miss anything essential.

Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I purchased the Mega 78-course bundle for CEH. Two hours later, I’m exhausted, frustrated, and still haven’t managed to launch a lab.

The website is cluttered with endless menus and options. Finding my CEH course was a challenge in itself. The labs? Hidden somewhere under Practice Labs, alongside hundreds of courses I don’t care about. Finally found the launch option, only to discover the passwords don’t work.
Tried contacting the coordinator. She’s no longer with EC-Council. Raised a support ticket instead. Guess what? “Something went wrong. Please try again.” Even their support system doesn’t work!

Meanwhile, the cross-selling is relentless. I’ve already purchased a premium bundle, but apparently that’s not enough. How about making the product people have paid for actually work before selling them more crap?
The irony? Friends who hold CEH told me they barely used EC-Council’s materials and prepared using TryHackMe and other platforms instead.
Two hours wasted. Zero labs launched.

Am I the only one who thinks EC-Council needs to stop expanding its course catalogue and start fixing its actual learning experience? Or is navigating their website the real CEH practical exam? 💀

I have an important question regarding the Ceh theory exam .. unfortunately I failed the first attempt and now I’m at my second one I need help in this matter .. I found that exsim exams dumps for ethical hacking from boson is a good platform to study from and itpro ACI learning also .. if anyone did the exam can you benefit me on this exam and I appreciate the help ,

Thank you .

So I spent 24 hours in the CPENT lab, finally finished the exam, and was relieved. But a few days later, I got a mail from EC-Council support saying my certification was rejected. The reason? My report "completely matched" someone else's.

I was fuming. I literally did everything myself. The automated checker flagged my PDF because I used standard formatting or templates, and it thought I copied it. I was told the decision was final.

Instead of crying about it, I went back to my Kali machine. I pulled out my raw Obsidian notes and my raw Excel sheet where I had tracked every single IP, hash, and flag I found. I sent just those raw, unedited files to the Practicals team. No fancy PDFs.

A few days later, they manually reviewed my data, realized the AI system gave a false positive, and reversed the decision. I am now officially CPENT v2 certified.

Moral of the story: Automated plagiarism checkers are completely broken right now. If you are taking practical exams, save your raw terminal history, your .md files, and your screenshots. That is the only thing that will save you when the system tries to fail you.

Hello Guys,

I have booked my CEH practical exam on next month.

I had already cleared the theory exam. If anyone who had passed the practicals, can you please let me know which one I need to focus on more.

Either it is iLabs or Engage, which one I need to focus more for the practical exam ?

Thanks

Hey everyone! I’ve been preparing for the CEH v13 AI exam and have been working through the official EC-Council courseware. I’m looking for some good practice questions or mock tests that are reasonably close to the actual exam in terms of style and difficulty.
For those who’ve taken the exam or are preparing for it, what resources would you recommend? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

🎉 Passed the CEH v13 Theory Exam on my first attempt with 120/125 (96%)!

I often heard people call CEH “just a 125-question MCQ exam” or a waste of time. After preparing for and taking it, my experience was quite different.

📚 Learning Experience
The EC-Council material covers a broad range of cybersecurity domains, tools, attacks, and concepts. Understanding the material and experimenting with the tools makes the learning far more valuable than simply memorizing answers.

📝 Exam Experience
The exam featured lengthy, scenario-based questions with similar-looking options that tested conceptual understanding. Knowing the difference between attacks like Man-in-the-Middle and Man-in-the-Browser matters more than memorizing definitions. The four-hour time limit was also challenging—I finished with around 30 minutes remaining.

🚀 My Takeaway
I’d recommend CEH to beginners who are willing to learn beyond the exam. It provides a broad foundation in ethical hacking and helps identify areas for further specialization. However, the certification alone isn't enough—hands-on labs, practical experience, and deeper technical knowledge remain essential.

What's next? I'm now preparing for the CEH Practical exam. If anyone who has attempted or passed it has tips, recommended resources, or advice on preparation, I'd really appreciate your suggestions!

Overall, my experience with CEH was much more positive than I expected. Focus on understanding, not just passing.
