Prepare for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Exam with 1,500 Unique High-Quality Test Questions and Detailed Explanations

This comprehensive practice test course is designed for IT professionals, cybersecurity students, and aspiring ethical hackers preparing for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) certification. With 1,500 meticulously crafted multiple-choice questions—divided into six full-length practice exams—you will gain the depth of knowledge and exam-day confidence needed to pass the CEH on your first attempt.

Each question is written to reflect the style, difficulty, and scope of the official CEH v12 exam, with no fluff and no repetition. Every question includes a detailed, step-by-step explanation that not only tells you why the correct answer is right, but also clarifies why the other options are incorrect. This approach reinforces your understanding and transforms memorization into true mastery.

The course is structured around the six core domains of the CEH curriculum, ensuring complete coverage of all exam objectives:

Section 1: Foundations of Ethical Hacking & Reconnaissance
Explore the principles of ethical hacking, reconnaissance techniques, footprinting, network scanning, and enumeration. Understand how attackers gather intelligence and how to defend against these initial phases.

Section 2: System & Network Exploitation
Dive into vulnerability analysis, system hacking, privilege escalation, malware behavior, sniffing, spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks. Learn how exploits are developed and how security controls can be bypassed or strengthened.

Section 3: Web, Wireless & Mobile Hacking
Master web application vulnerabilities including OWASP Top 10, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and server misconfigurations. Analyze wireless network weaknesses in WEP, WPA, and WPA3, and understand mobile and IoT attack vectors.

Section 4: Cloud, Evading IDS & Hacking Tools
Examine cloud infrastructure risks, evasion techniques against intrusion detection systems and firewalls, cryptography attacks, and the use of advanced tools like Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, and social engineering frameworks.

Section 5: Post-Exploitation, Reporting & Standards
Learn how attackers maintain access, move laterally, cover their tracks, and exfiltrate data. Understand penetration testing methodologies, legal and compliance frameworks such as GDPR and PCI-DSS, and risk management principles.

Section 6: Emerging Threats, Defense & Practical Scenarios
Stay ahead of modern threats including AI-powered attacks, threat intelligence using MITRE ATT&CK, endpoint detection and response (EDR), secure coding practices, and real-world scenario-based challenges that test your analytical skills.

You can retake each of the six practice exams as many times as you want. The question bank is large and randomized on each attempt, ensuring you are constantly challenged and never repeating the same sequence. This is not a limited quiz—it is a full-scale, exam-grade preparation system.

All questions include detailed explanations written by cybersecurity instructors with real-world penetration testing experience. Whether you’re unsure about a technique, confused by a tool output, or need clarification on a legal standard, you’ll find clear, actionable insights that build your knowledge over time.

Sample Question:

Question:
Which of the following tools is primarily used for passive reconnaissance to gather information about a target organization’s domain registration details without directly interacting with the target system?

A. Nmap
B. Wireshark
C. WHOIS
D. Metasploit

Correct Answer: C. WHOIS

Explanation:
WHOIS is a protocol and service used to query databases that store the registered users or assignees of internet resources, such as domain names and IP address blocks. It operates passively by retrieving publicly available information from domain registrars, making it a fundamental tool in the footprinting phase of ethical hacking. Unlike Nmap (which sends network probes), Wireshark (which captures live traffic), or Metasploit (which exploits vulnerabilities), WHOIS does not generate traffic to the target system. This makes it ideal for early-stage reconnaissance without triggering security alerts.

Another Sample Question:

Question:
During a penetration test, an attacker successfully exploits a SQL injection vulnerability to extract database credentials. The attacker then uses those credentials to execute a query that returns the names of all tables in the database. What type of SQL injection is this most likely to be?

A. Union-based SQL injection
B. Boolean-based blind SQL injection
C. Time-based blind SQL injection
D. Out-of-band SQL injection

Correct Answer: A. Union-based SQL injection

Explanation:
Union-based SQL injection allows an attacker to append a second SQL query using the UNION operator to combine results from two SELECT statements. This enables the attacker to retrieve data from other tables in the database, such as table names or column names, directly in the application’s response. In this scenario, the attacker receives visible output (table names) in the web page or response, which is characteristic of union-based injection. In contrast, blind SQL injection techniques (Boolean or time-based) do not return data directly and require inference through responses or delays. Out-of-band techniques rely on external channels such as DNS or HTTP requests to exfiltrate data. Since the data is returned directly in the application’s output, union-based is the correct classification.
