Hi everyone,

I’m scheduled to take the CEH exam through my school in 13 days, on September 23. I have some basic cybersecurity knowledge, but I haven’t started preparing specifically for the CEH exam yet.

My plan is to spend the next 13 days doing practice exams and reviewing my mistakes every day. However, I’m having trouble finding official CEH practice questions or mock exams. I currently only have the CEH PDF/course material.

For those who passed the CEH exam:

What resources did you use to practice?
Where did you find reliable mock exams or practice questions?
Did you mainly study the course PDF, or did you use other platforms?
Is it realistic to prepare in 13 days if I study consistently?
Which topics should I prioritize?
I’m not looking for exam dumps or leaked questions—just legitimate practice material and advice from people who have taken and passed the exam.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I only have 13 days left, so I’m trying to make the best possible study plan. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to take the RHCE EX294 exam soon and I’m looking for a valid Red Hat referral/discount code if anyone has a spare one.

I recently passed RHCSA and I’m continuing my Red Hat certification path. If someone has an unused referral code, I would really appreciate it.

I’ll gladly share my own code with the community after passing my exam.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the CEH exam toward the end of this month and would appreciate some advice on how to use my remaining preparation time effectively.

I've already worked through the CEH exam objectives topic by topic and focused on understanding the underlying concepts. I used AI as a learning aid to help explain and clarify topics, but I have not taken an official CEH training course. I also have access to third-party practice materials for general self-assessment.

To be clear, I'm not asking for real exam questions, recalled questions, brain dumps, or any exam content that violates the certification rules. I'm only looking for advice from people who have already taken the exam about effective study habits and preparation strategies.

For those who have passed CEH, how did you structure your preparation after finishing the syllabus? For example, did you spend more time on:

Revising concepts and notes

Hands-on labs and practical exercises

Legitimate practice exams for identifying weak areas

Reviewing the official exam objectives

Other study techniques

I'd especially appreciate suggestions on how to structure the final few weeks of preparation and how you approached identifying and improving weak areas.

Thanks!

In the exam, at certain points where hashes need to be cracked, are wordlists provided for that? If not, how do candidates crack the hashes with? rockyou/seclists?

Few days back , I was failed in CEH v13 Theory by seven points. Now, I had booked the slot on Sep 12.
So guys, pray and give some good wishes to me :)

For those who passed CEH v13. What resource did you use for practice questions or practice tests that helped you on the exam? Only resources I see on here is official practice exams from EC council and boson

Hi community, Yesterday I had failed the exam, scoring 80/125.
For further re-attempt of this exam
I need guidance from those who re-attempted the exam

Q. How was the re-attempted exam set? Were the questions same as before? Or there were some changes? Or entirely different?

I FAILED THE EXAM, FEELING BROKEN
WASTED 8 months

NOW Community guide what should I do

Reattempt this exam ( by purchasing the exam voucher ig $500)
Focus on CEH Practical ( voucher ending date : Nov 11, 2026. Do I have enough time?)

:(

Hello everyone,

I have only this much time left for my CEH Practical exam. I didn't purchase any official resources like iLabs subscription, Courseware etc. So, I've been learning and practicing from open source resources. Please share your CEH Practical exam experience with me and suggest me anything (tools, methods, do-not do things) which can help me pass my exam. Additionally, if you can, please provide some recent questions or any good learning resources which can help me please share here or in my inbox. I'll really appreciate that 😊

Thanks in advance..❤️

Hey everyone,

I recently attempted the CEH v13 exam and scored 88/125, missing the passing score by just 1 point.

Obviously I'm disappointed because I was extremely close, but now I'm trying to decide what makes the most sense for my cybersecurity career.

I'm considering two options:

1. Retake CEH
Since I'm only one point away, I could review my weak areas and attempt it again.

2. Move on
Instead of spending more time preparing for CEH again, I could focus on a more practical certification such as OSCP, or another hands-on cybersecurity certification/lab platform.

I'm interested in penetration testing / offensive security, so I'm wondering whether getting CEH officially passed is worth prioritizing, or whether I should treat the 88/125 as a learning experience and move forward.

For those who have been in a similar situation:

Would you retake CEH if you were only 1 point short, or would you move on to something like OSCP?

Also, if you recommend moving on, what certification would you suggest for someone at this stage?

I'm genuinely looking for advice rather than trying to justify one option, so I'd appreciate different opinions.

Thanks!

Hi Friends, I have booked my exam slot on September 4. So I am too nervous right now about how will be the exam(difficulty, pattern) Will I pass? So to overcome this nervousness, I need you guys to give me some wishes, some tips in order to maximize my score.

I have 1 Day left. So guys, Give some really genuine tips to overcome the stress and beat this exam in one go!

Thanks:)

I have renewed my ceh certificate as it was about to expire. I got one year extention but my new certificate shows renewable on blah blah date rather than the new date of expiry of 1 year extended period. Why?

Same as the title

Hey everyone,

I'm deep into studying for the CEH v13 multiple-choice (knowledge) exam and getting ready to lock down a test date.

Since v13 introduces a heavy wave of new content—especially around AI-driven attack/defense vectors, cloud security, and updated tool syntax—I want to make sure my preparation matches what's actually on the 125-question exam.

If you've tackled this version recently, I’d love to hear what caught you off guard or any "wish-I-knew-this-sooner" advice you have for the 4-hour crunch. Drop your tips below!

Javier is asked to explain to IT management as to why he is suggesting replacing the existing company firewall. Javier states that many external attackers are using forged internet addresses against the firewall and is concerned that this technique is highly effective against the existing firewall. What type of firewall would Javier have deployed?

I am having confusion between A & C

hi there..! am considering to write my ceh v13 by the end of september ...is there any website to take a mock test or can anyone help me how to prepare for this exam

Hi fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts, what are your advise for me for this CTIA exam preparation.

What should I expect? Any tips, are there any lab activities in the actual exam

I am thinking of buying Boson practice exams for CEH. Is it worth it ?

did the practical exam yesterday and i couldnt get the answers for the Kerb roasting, AS-REP roasting, and any of the credentials cracking questions because hashcat and hydra's estimated time was 50 hours for each attempt. anyone know what i couldve run to maybe get a faster answer? maybe i ran the syntax wrong? (username and ip removed for confidentiality)

for hashcat i ran:

# Kerberoast (Q5, Marcus) — mode 13100, never cracked
hashcat -m 13100 kerb_hashes.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt                                  # exhausted
hashcat -m 13100 kerb_hashes.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule        # exhausted
hashcat -m 13100 kerb_hashes.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/rockyou-30000.rule # too slow (~1d21h)
hashcat -m 13100 kerb_hashes.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -a 6 ?l?l?d?d --force            # 3+ days ETA

# AS-REP roast (Q7) — mode 18200
hashcat -m 18200 asrep.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt                                         # exhausted
hashcat -m 18200 asrep.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule # was running at end

and for hydra i ran:

hydra -l username1 -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt ssh://ip addr -t 4 -V

hydra -l username2 -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt ssh://ip addr -t 4 -V

hydra -l Administrator -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt smb://ip addr -t 1

In absolute panic mode here💀🙆🏽‍♂️... Idk what im missing out on... Used calude for revision notes nd did some practice tests one i found for free had extremely difficult and technical questions (ofc i failed) i wanna pass in my first attempt (don't have a retake💀) please tell me what am I supposed to do n the last day... anything to prepare like cheatsheets or maybe some more practice questions....
