Preparation RoadMap 🛣️

Tips

1) First finish linux based questions like nmap etc and save those in the desktop folder, believe me you will look into the nmap scans over and over again. 2) Watch the ilab videos from youtube and reffer CEH practical Lab manual. 3) Everything will be asked from the ilab videos nothing will be out of sylabus.

The Username and Password file will be present in the parrot machine it will help you to crack the ftp and wordpress related questions.

Don’t be nervous, you are going to pass the exam with no doubt. Patience is really needed for the exam because the parrot machine is outdated and its very slow.

Exam Experience:

I know this is the most awaited part. The exam is watched over by a person called a proctor. They use GoToMeeting, a program that sees and hears you through your computer. They'll also record what's on your screen during the whole exam. After your identity is verified, your exam starts.

The exam is on a website called iLab. You don't need to worry about taking pictures of your virtual machines (VMs).

You'll get two Operating systems to test things on. One is Parrot OS, and the other is Windows 11. No more Kali this time.

You can DO use the internet for the exam. You can look things up, take notes on your computer, watch videos, and read blogs. But DON”T write notes by hand, talk to people, or make calls.

Your exam computers won't have regular internet access. You need to use your web browser to access the internet.

  • Start with the scanning part (NMAP Scan), since the scanning part takes some time, I moved on to other hacking questions.

  • Scan all ports on IPs because default scripts might not catch smart configurations.
