Preparation (before the boot camp starts)
Ethical hacking prep course
Day 1
Introduction to ethical hacking
The first half of day one focuses on learning the job duties required of a penetration tester. You will learn the ins and outs of the various penetration testing methodologies required in order for an ethical hack to be used in a business or government setting. You will also delve deep into technical material, learning how to perform network reconnaissance against modern infrastructure.
Pentesting process
Passive reconnaissance and OSINT
CTF Exercises
Schedule may vary from class to class
Day 2
Network scanning
Having learned how to gather information about several targets, we begin day two with narrowing our attack by finding potentially vulnerable systems/services. You will master the art of network scanning and service identification, and gain a deeper understanding of how systems communicate using the TCP and UDP protocols.
Target system identification, service enumeration and vulnerability scanning
CTF Exercises
Schedule may vary from class to class
Day 3
Exploitation
After gathering information about your target system, you will put all that hard work to use when you learn how to exploit those vulnerabilities. You will learn the skills to demonstrate a successful exploit of a vulnerability as well as how to gather additional credentials to exploit vulnerabilities in other systems. You will also learn useful social engineering techniques, including phishing, and methods of attacking physical security.
Password security, social engineering, and physical security
CTF Exercises
Schedule may vary from class to class
Day 4
Deep target penetration and covering tracks
After compromising a target, you will extend your access to all vulnerable systems at your target organization and learn how to covertly exfiltrate data. The second half of day four covers attacking web-based applications and understanding SQL injection.
Web application attacks
CTF Exercises
Schedule may vary from class to class
Day 5
Scripting
Day five is dedicated toward wireless security, using basic scripts for ethical hacking, covering your tracks and post-engagement activities. You will master the ability to sniff data, clean up all traces of your activities and learn best practices for writing reports and recommending mitigation strategies.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is getting certified an important part of an ethical hacking career?
The EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification and the CompTIA PenTest+ certification demonstrate to employers you have an in-depth knowledge of ethical hacking and penetration testing. They are industry-recognized certifications that teach you the skills and techniques required to identify system weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
How much programming experience is typically required?
Programming experience isn’t a requirement, but we recommend you have a solid understanding of at least one programming language, a familiarity with networking concepts like TCP/IP Protocol and experience using Linux and/or Unix.
How has the ethical hacking industry grown in recent years? Has the need for ethical hacking skills changed in the last five or ten years?
The ethical hacking industry has grown tremendously over the past decade and shows no signs of slowing down. As computer technology advances, the need for white-hat hackers to protect corporate data will continue to grow. The growing popularity of cloud computing and IoT devices has introduced a myriad of new vulnerabilities, further increasing the need for ethical hackers and pentesters.
How difficult is it to find security flaws in companies with significant resources? Do hackers still get paid if they fail to find security flaws?
Your experience will vary by company, but security flaws are surprisingly common in the real world. If your penetration test fails to identify any security vulnerabilities, you will still be paid for your time and services.
Is it possible to receive one-on-one mentoring from an Ethical Hacking Boot Camp instructor? How much feedback will I receive on my coursework?
Absolutely! One-to-one chat sessions with instructors are an important part of our live online Ethical Hacking Boot Camp. During the boot camp, instructors focus 100% of their time and attention on students to ensure they learn the skills to pass your CEH and PenTest+ exams.
Does the program offer training on ethical hacking specialization skills?
Our Ethical Hacking Boot Camp dives deep into various specialized ethical hacking concepts: information gathering, network scanning, footprinting and reconnaissance, exploitation, penetration testing, web application hacking and more. Once you learn the basics, we offer a variety of other in-depth boot camps specializing in cloud pentesting, web application pentesting and more. Browse our boot camp library for the full list.
Why is the Ethical Hacking Boot Camp a necessary addition to the other popular certification programs?
The CEH and PenTest+ certifications provide an in-depth view into ethical hacking and penetration testing, putting you at the top of your field.

I have never had a better experience in any previous training. The instructor gave the information needed for the test and also shared his real-world experience to bring it together. I would not hesitate recommending this class to anyone interested in CEH.
Chris Young, Maintech
I thoroughly enjoyed the Ethical Hacking class. I would venture to say it is one of the best technical classes I have ever attended. I feel very confident that I will be able to take my learning experience and be better able to defend our company assets.
Jeremy Kicklighter, ACI Worldwide
The course materials were excellent. The class format was fantastic. The instructor not only prepared us for the examination but also spent a considerable amount of time in learning practical skills for the real world.
