Excellent preparation book for the exam, makes you not a Ethical Hacker. - 2007-07-03
Reviewer Rating:
This book I used for reference material to prepare for the CEH Exam. There is also a review guide for CEH, see Amazon for this book (CEH: Official Certified Ethical Hacker Review Guide: Exam 312-50 by Kimberly Graves). Beware: this is a REVIEW guide. Personally I think that this book (Certified Ethical Hacker Exam Prep, Que Publishing by Michael Gregg) is great for a start and you don't need the other review book.

The exam consists of 150 questions with sometimes deep technical detailed questions. You'll need certainly a good knowledge about protocols and typical behaviour of it but nevertheless this will not make you an ethical hacker. This takes much much more experience, dedication and years of work in the field.
Besides that; you will need lots and lots of other material to prepare yourself for the exam and to build up knowledge in general. For example; buy the guide of "professor Messer" to get additional knowledge on the Nmap tool. The book is however a great guide in the sometimes complex material.

I think this book is easy to read, the author did a great job on this. Second there is a good roll up of all the issues that where discussed in every chapter. I think CEH is a typically focussed on the Windows Platform. This not a problem for me because this is my expertise area anyway but unix and linux is touched lightly.

With that in mind, great guide for preparing, buy some other stuff or search the internet for additional material.

Outdated, no longer sufficient. - 2010-05-28

This was a good book in its day... for the previous version (5) of the test. But it's outdated and needs an update. This version of the book won't prepare you for the test. Version 6 was released in 2008 with lots more modules and newer malware and hacking tools. Example, there are no sections on wireless or bluetooth hacking, and no info on Cisco PIX firewall models and their specs. (Unfortunately, books that cover the new CEH v6 exam seem to be lacking at the moment.)

Great Exam Book! But.... - 2009-06-08

This is a great book for studying for the exam. If you want to get an idea of security info in general you can't find a better condensed book. However I just took the exam and passed and will say this book alone would not have been nearly enough. Since I can't say what is actually on the exam and also your test could be vastly different that mine I will say study everything and I mean minor details! Study vendor specific technologies!Best of luck.RC

This book is a great. Not recommended to people with low expirience in Computers or Information Technology. You should have a strong foundation in systems and different Operating Systems. This book has tons of relevnat, strong, new age information on todays Systems and software. GREAT BUY!

Some errors but hackers don't care about grammer. - 2007-06-28
Reviewer Rating:
My teach kept saying how he threw the book at the wall when he saw the first error. So don't believe everything word for word in this book. Try some of the stuff out it tells you about to help ya learn about it. The book has a lot of good information. It'd be nice though if they could get a new edition out with the errors fixed.
