Certified Ethical Hacker (312-50 CEH)

The Certified Ethical Hacker (312-50 CEH) practice examination assesses a candidate's understanding of authorized ethical-hacking concepts, information-security threats, attack vectors, attack detection, attack prevention, procedures, methodologies, and defensive validation.

The current EC-Council CEH v13/CEH AI learning program is organized into 20 modules covering ethical-hacking foundations, reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, vulnerability analysis, system security, malware, traffic analysis, social engineering, denial-of-service, session security, defensive technologies, web servers, web applications, SQL injection, wireless, mobile, IoT/OT, cloud, and cryptography.

The official knowledge examination contains 125 multiple-choice questions, lasts four hours, and is delivered through the ECC exam portal or Pearson VUE. EC-Council uses form-dependent cut scores; typical passing scores are reported in the approximate 65%–85% range. Passing the knowledge examination earns the CEH credential. The optional CEH Practical examination contains 20 challenges over six hours and is required, together with the knowledge exam, for the CEH Master designation.

Candidates may qualify by completing official EC-Council training or by submitting an eligibility application based on relevant experience. EC-Council recommends approximately two years of information-security experience for candidates bypassing official training.

Authorization requirement: All security-testing techniques must be used only on systems the practitioner owns or has explicit written permission to assess. This syllabus focuses on lawful, controlled, defensive, and professional application.
