Inside a CEH boot camp: Advice from an Infosec instructor

from Cyber Work Hosted by Infosec

Infosec and the Cyber Work Hacks podcast are here to help you pass the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam! So for today’s hack, we’re talking about bootcamps. The CEH exam, no matter how you slice it, is an exam that is the definition of the phrase, “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” With 125 questions and four hours to answer them, there’s as much of a mental game at work here that’s much more than rote memorization of terms and tools. That’s why I wanted to get an insider’s look from Infosec boot camp instructor Akyl Phillips! Phillips will explain what the Infosec five-day CEH boot camp is like, the learning and retention strategies you’ll employ, and all the ways that bootcamp training can help you pass on the first try. Phillips has taught pentesters and red teamers at all levels from sheer beginners to people already in the field, and this episode is a look into how it works.
