Ceh Certified Ethical Hacker All-In-One Exam Guide, Fifth Edition

TL,DR; Buy the book for the references, but don't expect it to help you out on the exam material.Having read the entire book and performed a variety of practice exams, I can honestly say that this book is not helpful for passing CEH but I'm not sure its Matt's fault. I truly believe the author knows and can convey ethical hacking material, but EC Council material is so all over the place it's not even helpful. The book itself is filled with 25 pages worth of tools references, explains the inner-workings of several attack types, and the methodology is well documented. However, going into practice exams almost none of this info was helpful. Before I read the book, I was scoring around 65% accuracy. This has not changed since reading this book in its entirety. If it wasn't required to pass one of my school classes, I would not take this exam and I would certainly not recommend it to anyone. Thank you to Matt Walker for the reference material. EC Council - Go home. You're drunk.

I highly recommend this book. I used it to study for my CEH exam for about 3 months and passed without any issues. As the author mentions many times, dont only depend on this book, but it is definitely worth buying.It not only explains the necessary material, but does so in a more realistic fashion. The author takes a personable approach and not a textbook approach, explaining concepts versus providing dull definitions. Each chapter includes quiz with explanations for the answers.The author also highlights different sections that are more important (and more likely to be on the exam). He also doesnt waste space by covering all of the basics again and gets straight to the material most pertinent to the CEH exam, though he does include brief reviews where it is most important.The book also includes a free online test prep with 300+ questions and a good structure for studying with different testing prep styles (mock exam, review with answer checks, etc).

I picked this book up after I got tired reading the official EC-Council textbook. The book is easier to digest and was a lot of fun to read. It helped me pass CEHv11 on my first try.

This book doesn’t overcomplicate CEH and it is also very engaging, particularly for a text book. I got the book for a class and I enjoyed it so much I even read the chapters that were not assigned, despite the fact that I’m not even studying for the exam.

This book is a very good read. Like the author (Matt Walker) mentioned throughout the book, it shouldn't be the only source to study for exam. One thing for sure, it's a very good read - entertaining, tools and some really good examples.I passed the exam after reading this book and two other one, including one from Ric Messier (v10), and going through lots of questions and answer.
