I would recommend not doing that. If I were you, and you really do want this cert, then Id suggest the "Courseware Only" option on their site. Then I would recommend throwing their course materials in the trash where it belongs and using Boson exam simulator and reading the All in One from Amazon cover to cover. That should prepare you for the exam. If you check my post history I also have some notes that I put on here, There are also much better notes from different redditors on this site, just check the top of all time posts on this subreddit.
I had to get this exam as part of a DoD 8570 Requirement and I have a lot of negative opinions towards the EC Council and the Cert.
This is just my personal opinion, but the two sources I linked will more than prepare you for the exam.
Good luck on your Journey!
The only book I used was All-in-One CEH guide by Matt Walker

Thanks 🙂
The only book I jave used is this and its highly recommendend 🙂 AIO
I think this book will shape your knowledge more than the exam 😃
Yeah it's exactly the same as the CEH. Their website says so. It just takes a USD $200 application fee to apply for it once you get your CEH. Seems a little silly, but I suppose it has a mild purpose.
The exam was tougher than I had expected, but I had no expectation to compare it too... so it was all new to me. I had access to the iLab and iClass material. I used very little of the iLab, as I thought it was kind of pointless by itself. I read through the All-in-One exam book completely. There was another book, but I really disliked the format. The iClass videos were horrible, as the instructor was just reading the slides with little to no REAL explanation of anything. I also used the Boson Exam Environment... which was probably the only reason I passed. The study mode it offers is very useful. You can test your ability and then study what you don't understand.
the test was a lot of application style questions. You need to know more than just a definition. It is honestly fairly difficult to explain. The Boson software was very helpful though, as the questions were very similar in nature. I did a lot of studying on ports, which in my case weren't incredibly useful. They helped in determining the ultimate answer of some questions, but I don't think it was overly useful. I would love to say more, but the NDA kind of makes me scared to share too may specifics. I think if you have access to the Boson software and just about any book, you could pass it.
