CEH Practical — Certified Ethical Hacker (Practical)
The practical companion to the CEH knowledge exam — a 6-hour 20-challenge hands-on test that validates actual execution of the concepts covered in CEH. DoD 8140 approved. The hands-on format is a meaningful improvement over the standard CEH MCQ-only exam and provides real evidence of practical skill. Completing both CEH and CEH Practical earns the CEH Master designation. For practitioners who have already invested in the CEH ecosystem for DoD purposes, the Practical exam is worth adding to validate that the theoretical knowledge translates to actual tool usage.
