So before we move further into the course, it is very beneficial for us to know what is see and what
are the types of examinations.
So first, let's talk about what is C?
C stands for Certified Ethical Hacker.
This is a certification for professionals who want to gain knowledge and skills related to identifying
and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems.
Well, c, a certification is recognized globally and is widely used by organizations to ensure the
security of their systems, and it is the best certification if you are looking for an entry level job.
Next, we will talk about the types of C exam.
There are two types of exam c, v, 11, and C practical.
CCB 11 is a theoretical exam that tests a candidate's knowledge of ethical hacking concepts and techniques.
While C Practical is a hands on exam that tests a candidate's ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities
in simulated environments.
Let's talk about these exams in detail.
First, we will talk about the CCB 11 exam.
Well, I guess many of you might have already heard about this exam or maybe some of you might have
already qualified this exam.
So C is certification exam is knowing the theoretical aspect of the hacking world, which means this
v 11 exam is a hacking exam which tests your theoretical knowledge.
Right now the current version is c h v 12, which has been launched in 2023, and this exam consists
of 125 multiple choice questions and it has a time limit of four hours.
The passing score is 70% and the syllabus is web application security, cryptography, social engineering,
steganography, network security, etcetera.
Now let's move on to the main topic, which is C practical exam which we are going to learn in this
course.
It's a six hour exam that consists of 20 scenarios, which means 20 questions, and each question has
a different level of difficulty.
The exam is conducted in a virtual environment that simulates real world system.
So in this practical exam, you would be given two machines.
One would be a Windows machine and the second would be a parrot OS machine, which we will discuss further
in the videos, how we are going to install it and how we are going to use it.
Now this exam covers a lot of topics like cryptography, network scanning, enumeration, web application
security, etcetera and this time it is not theoretical.
This time we have to do everything practically.
That's why this exam would be very beneficial to you if you are going to apply for a job and the penetration
testing field.
So the passing marks is 14 out of 20, which means it is equal to 70%.
Now let's talk about the syllabus which the council has given us for practical.
As you can see, there are 20 sections, but to be honest, these 20 sections are a lot like a lot.
But in reality, many of these sections don't even come in the exam.
I have taught a lot of my friends who have recently passed this exam with 18 out of 20, 19 out of 20,
I myself have passed with 19 out of 21 marks got cut because of a silly mistake.
Like I didn't check the case sensitive while submitting the answer.
So let me tell you that this practical exam, you don't have to read all these 20 modules because the
syllabus is very overwhelming.
But in reality, a few of the sections, a few of modules are there which we will cover and which are
the ones that are going to come in the exam.
So let me mark those modules.
So first would be.
Footprinting and reconnaissance.
We are going to learn this is not that important.
But still, it would be a good thing to learn about footprinting.
Second is scanning network, which is very important.
Third is.
Fourth is enumeration.
Next is we will learn about sniffing.
Then we will learn about hacking, web server and web application.
This is also very necessary.
Next, we will talk about SQL injection.
We will also talk about hacking mobile applications, because there would be always 1 or 2 questions
related to ADB, which I'll explain in the coming videos.
And this is one of the most important section that is cryptography, because in the cryptography section
you will get about 4 to 5 questions related to this.
And there is another section that is graphy.
Which will also you will get about 1 or 2 questions.
Okay, so that is all for the syllabus of practical, which we are going to learn.
And yeah, I hope that it would be really an amazing time with you all.
So let's start the course.
