You have to make a decision about your lab setup: Professional or Certification seeker.

Certification BUY from ECC


Sign up for lab environments that will complete all of the exam objectives. ECC charges $200 for the most complete 40 hours of continuous lab. https://store.eccouncil.org/product/ilabs-ceh/ There are other labs out there, not as good. The amount of money you spend is directly proportional to the number of labs that you will receive and the completeness of the environment. ECCouncil's vendor support this lab environment much better than all of the others. Completeness, speed of support, and quality are the metrics you care about.
LABS from ECC that you should NOT do:
Most of the time the labs are good at what they do: They teach the ECC way...every once in a while, ah no.

  • MOD06- system hacking
  • Lab 3 - these tools do not work as you expect
  • Task 1: User System Monitoring and Surveillance using Power Spy (cannot get in or out of stealth mode unless you buy)
  • Task 2: User System Monitoring and Surveillance using Spytech SpyAgent - (these are end user tools not professional)
  • my only argument for using them is: previously installed / living off the land?????
  • Task 3: Hide Files using NTFS Streams ( as of 2021-04-29 - wrong instructions)
  • Lab 4
  • Task 4: Clear Windows Machine Logs using CCleaner
  • If you do not know why read this:
