Course Description
If you're concerned about the integrity of your network's infrastructure, this course will teach you the ethical hacking tools and techniques needed to enhance your network's defenses. You'll begin by learning how perimeter defenses work. By scanning and attacking your own network (no real networks will be harmed), you'll also learn how intruders operate and the steps to secure a system. In the interactive, lab-filled environment of this ethical hacking course, you will gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience with current, essential security systems. You will explore common ethical hacking topics, such as intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, DDoS attacks, buffer overflows, and virus creation. In addition to learning how to scan, test, hack, and secure a system, you'll prepare for the latest Certified Ethical Hacker exam from EC-Council with access to online practice test questions. An exam voucher is included with your course registration; however, the exam will not be administered in class to allow for maximum discussion opportunities and hands-on activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification?
CEH is a certification from EC-Council that validates skills in identifying and exploiting security vulnerabilities in networks, systems, and applications — using the same tools and techniques as malicious hackers, but in a legal, authorized context. CEH holders understand how attackers think and operate, which makes them highly effective at strengthening defensive security postures. It is recognized across federal agencies and DoD as a key offensive security credential.
How long is IT Dojo's CEH training course?
IT Dojo's CEH course is 5 days of intensive, hands-on instructor-led training. It is available as live remote online or on-site at your facility. The course covers all CEH domains through a mix of lecture, discussion, and practical labs.
What are the prerequisites for CEH training?
CEH training requires at least two years of IT security experience and a working knowledge of TCP/IP. Students should hold CompTIA Security+ or have equivalent professional experience. The course is designed for experienced IT security professionals, not beginners.
Does the CEH course include an exam voucher?
Yes. An EC-Council exam voucher is included with your course registration. Note that the CEH exam is not administered during the class — this allows maximum time for hands-on labs and discussion. Students are encouraged to schedule their exam shortly after completing the course while the material is fresh.
What hands-on skills does the CEH course develop?
The course includes practical labs covering footprinting and reconnaissance, network scanning, enumeration, system hacking, malware analysis, sniffing, social engineering, denial of service, session hijacking, web server and application attacks, SQL injection, wireless network hacking, and evading IDS and firewalls. Students practice attacking systems in a controlled lab environment — no real networks are harmed.
Is CEH training available online for DoD and federal teams?
Yes. IT Dojo offers live remote online CEH training for federal agencies, DoD commands, and government contractors. All training is employer-sponsored. Remote labs are conducted live with instructor guidance, giving online students the same hands-on experience as in-person attendees.
