What the questions cover
The questions follow the ethical hacking phases (reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, covering tracks) and the tools and attacks used in each: passive recon, Nmap SYN scans, Wireshark, banner grabbing, Metasploit, dictionary attacks, ARP poisoning, SYN floods, CSRF, directory traversal, Burp Suite, buffer overflows, vishing, tailgating, Aircrack-ng, SQLmap, steganography, rules of engagement, honeypots, trojans, IoT botnets and session hijacking defences.
A sample question explained
"An Nmap SYN scan (-sS) is called a half-open scan because it…" never completes the TCP three-way handshake. Nmap sends a SYN; an open port replies with SYN-ACK, and Nmap answers with RST instead of ACK. Because the connection never fully opens, the scan is faster and was historically less likely to be logged by applications, though modern firewalls and IDS detect it easily.
In this practice set, 19 out of 25 is 76%. EC-Council sets the format and pass mark of each CEH exam form.
Getting the most from it
- Practise only in labs you own or are authorised to test, such as intentionally vulnerable VMs.
- Pair every attack you learn with how to detect and stop it.
- Know which tool fits which phase.
The questions in this CEH Practice Test are original practice questions by Uncodemy, not exam dumps, and Uncodemy is not connected with the exam provider. Check the official exam guide before booking.
