If you are new to cybersecurity or coming from an IT or networking background, CEH certification training is the best certification to start. It gives you a strong understanding of ethical hacking fundamentals and introduces key tools used by hackers.

Securium Academy also Provide 30 Days of CEHv13 Certification and training program.

What is CEHv13 Theory Certification:

It is a foundational certification of EC Council and also globally recognised by many government organizations like DoD, ANSI Accreditation. This certification builds your strong foundation in Cyber Security. It is an entry level cybersecurity certification from EC-Council. This certification is designed who wants to make or start their career in Cyber Security.

This certification doesn't just teach you the tools to do it. It helps you understand the mindset of the attacker.

Theory means that this certification is concept-based not hardcore practical. You learn the hacking concepts, methodologies and its process.

Steps by Steps for How to Study for this Exam:

Smartly divide the Modules:

Phase 1 (Days 1-10): Basics + Recon (In this phase, you need to strengthen your foundation. This is the most important phase, as it is where your understanding is built)

• Intro to Ethical Hacking
• Footprinting
• Scanning
• Enumeration

Phase 2 (Days 11-20): Core Attacks (In this phase, you will learn how to do real world attacks with its working)

• System Hacking
• Malware
• Sniffing
• Social Engineering
• DoS / Session Hijacking

Phase 3 (Days 21-25): Web & Modern Topics (This phase covers the high-weightage and real-world relevant topics)

• Web App Attacks (SQLi, XSS, IDOR)
• Wireless Security
• Cloud / IoT

Phase 4 (Days 26-30): Revision + Practice (In this phase, you have to improve your accuracy, speed and build confidence for exam)

• We also Provide Mock Test
• Weak area revise
• Notes revise

Final Strategy:

If you follow this plan properly then:

• Phase 1 -> Foundation strong
• Phase 2 -> Attack Understanding
• Phase 3 -> High-Value topics
• Phase 4 -> Exam readiness

Then It’s possible to crack the CEHv13 Theory Exam in Just 30 Days.

Tips:

• Solve 20 – 50 questions on the daily basis to improve speed and accuracy
• Practice regularly to understand the exam pattern
• Focus on Scenario-based questions
• Understand the exam pattern using mock test

Exam Day Tips:

• Use Elimination Technique for MCQs
  • First, read the question carefully
  • Remove 2 options that are clearly wrong
  • Focus on the remaining 2 options
  • Choose the best and most logical answer
• Manage the time: 125 questions= 4 hours, ~2 min per question
• Don’t be panic in the exam
