The ECCouncil Certified Ethical Hacker blueprint is organized into 20 domains, led by Sniffing, Scanning Networks, and Evading IDS, Firewalls, and Honeypots. The complete weighted syllabus appears above on this page — it is the checklist your preparation should be measured against.

You will face 125 questions within 240 minutes on the 312-50v12 exam. The real exam pressure comes from that ratio — knowledge alone does not finish exams on time. Rehearse with the ITCertMagic test engine's timed mode, repeat the same question sets until the answers consolidate, and pacing stops being a risk factor.

Attend official EC-Council training or provide proof of at least two years of information security work experience and receive EC-Council eligibility approval.

Eligibility rules do get revised, so before booking, verify the current requirements on the official ECCouncil exam page.

The 312-50v12 exam — full title Certified Ethical Hacker Exam — is ECCouncil's own certification test, and passing it awards the CEH v12 certification at the Intermediate level. The certificate is valuable precisely because it is demanding: it proves to employers that your skills survived a vendor-built examination. It also serves as a stepping stone toward Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), CEH Practical, CEH Master.

The passing score is 60% - 85%, and the official registration fee is $950 USD. Note that the fee pays for a single attempt — a retake is charged at full price again, which is the expensive way to discover weak spots. The cheaper discovery method is self-testing: drill 573 practice questions at ITCertMagic in timed mode until your scores clear the passing mark with room to spare, then register.
