Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Bootcamp
Published by O'Reilly Media, Inc.
Hacking your way through the CEH v12 exam
You can make a good living in the computing world by exposing everyone else’s poor systems administration. Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) is the main vendor-neutral cybersecurity certification for gaining entry into penetration testing as a career. Earning the CEH will give you a headstart on the path to a cybersecurity career.
Join expert Dean Bushmiller to learn how to pass the CEH exam and gain a solid understanding of the five phases of hacking: reconnaissance, gaining access, enumeration, maintaining access, and covering tracks. You’ll also discover how to deploy attacker and victim machines to an isolated network. But understanding the hack is only half the battle—you’ll also see how to apply these skills in the real world in an enterprise environment.
APAC friendly time.
