It\u2019s not usual to be asked about the Ping of Death, which sources to 1998, or to get tested on the antiquated Smurf attacks. To be sure, you will not have to read today\u2019s headlines to prepare for the tests inquiries.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Some topics are lightly covered in the exam:<\/p><ul><li>Hacking mobile devices<\/li><li>Hacking the Cloud<\/li><li>Mobile Hacking<\/li><\/ul><p>Other areas have extraordinary focus:<\/p><ul><li>Social engineering<\/li><li>Scanning<\/li><li>Malware<\/li><li>Sniffers<\/li><li>Evasion<\/li><\/ul><p>That being said, there is a lot of material to cover. In the official book, there are over 1600 pages filled with fine print. You need to know to know your stuff!<\/p><h3>Question Quality<\/h3><p>The quality of the questions is low, but manageable. Words are often misspelled. Do not let these errors distract you. Don\u2019t rule out an answer because of a possible misspelling\u2026 It could still be the correct answer.\u00a0 Wording is quite vague.\u00a0<em> You will find many questions with two correct answers and just one choice.<\/em><\/p><p><strong><em>Example<\/em><\/strong>: I once came across a question that had to do with obfuscating IP addresses. It was referred to as\u00a0<strong><em>obstructing<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>IP addresses. The best advice is to forgive their lapses and let it go.<\/p><p>Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of the exam is its lack of precision. It\u2019s not unusual for a question to have no correct answer among those provided. It\u2019s also just as likely that you may have questions that ask you to select one correct answer, when two or more are provided. This is where digging into the details of the book and the EC Council thinking style comes in handy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certified Ethical Hacker version 12 ABOUT THE EXAM Little has changed in the V11 to v12 update.\u00a0 There is a bit more in the IoT and Cloud Modules.
