EC-Council - Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) - Overview

The goal of our five-day Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) Version 6 course is to equip information security professionals with the knowledge to identify and correct exploits that make information systems vulnerable to attack.

You will learn some of the latest techniques and tools for penetration testing because the best way to protect an organisation from malicious hackers is to be skilled in the art of ethical hacking.

During our Certification Training Program, you will live, learn, and take the (C|EH) Version 6 examination at one of our state-of-the-art education centres. This blended-learning program employs outcome-based (Lecture | Lab | Review) delivery - that focuses on preparing you with the real-world skills required to obtain your certification and to hit the ground running in your career.

Our Certified Ethical Hacker Program:

Allows you to achieve your certification in less time than 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
Helps students grasp complex technical concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory

Update

“As part of the continual drive to ensure our courses are the most up to date, Firebrand are now using the EC-Council version 6 courseware on our Certified Ethical Hacker courses. EC-Council have restructured their version 5 courseware and have introduced a range of new and important chapters for both the instructor led and self-study portions of the course. Topics such as Google Hacking, Phishing, Routers, Mobile phones and MACs are now included in the course materials either in printed format or on the included DVDs, to keep students up to date and aware of the latest threats. The range of tools supplied has also increased, enabling students to gain a wider view of the utilities available in the security market place.” Graeme Phillips, Head of Education, Firebrand Training, April 2009.

EC-Council - Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) - Benefits

Given the complexity and scale of today's corporate networks, effective penetration testing may be the only way to find out how secure a network really is. Ethical Hackers can provide real evidence of weaknesses or provide real assurance that current controls are working effectively.

This course will significantly benefit security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.

Technical certification is a sound investment in your career - and your organisation. Although certification does not guarantee success, research has shown that it can have a significant impact on:

Morale and confidence
Efficiency and productivity on the job: 85% of managers view certified employees as more productive (Gartner Study)
Career advancement: 70.8% of IT managers view certification as a criteria for promotion (Gartner Study)
Financial rewards

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Our approach is highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote teamwork, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

You’ll get:

Intensive group instruction
One-on-one instruction attention
Hands-on case studies
Partner and group exercises
Question and answer review sessions
Mock exam papers

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

EC-Council - Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) - Curriculum

Firebrand Training provides thorough instructor-led training to ensure that you learn the fundamentals, obtain hands-on skills, and earn your certification. You will emerge able to immediately utilise your newly-obtained knowledge and skills.

The Certified Ethical Hacker Version 6 course will immerse the student into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to 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 defences work and then be lead into scanning and attacking their own networks (no real network is harmed). Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows and Virus Creation.

Each training day is segmented into Lecture, Lab, and Review components that cater to a student's multiple learning styles (auditory, visual, kinaesthetic-tactual). Our program covers the following material.
