Dr. Chuck Easttom is the author of 34 books, including several on computer security, forensics, and cryptography. He holds a doctor of science degree in cybersecurity, a Ph.D. in nanotechnology, a Ph.D. in computer science, and three master’s degrees (one in applied computer science, one in education, and one in systems engineering). He is also an inventor with 23 patents. He is a senior member of both the IEEE and the ACM. He is also a Distinguished Speaker of the ACM and a Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE. Dr. Easttom is currently an adjunct professor for Georgetown University and for University of Dallas.

Chuck Easttom assumes no prior knowledge: students with little or no experience in ethical hacking and penetration testing can obtain the knowledge they need to take and pass the exam. He thoroughly covers every CEH v11 topic, including:

  • Reconnaissance and scanning
  • Enumeration and vulnerability scanning
  • System and session hacking
  • Malware, sniffing, social engineering, and DOS attacks
  • Evading security measures
  • Hacking web servers, applications, wireless, mobile, IoT, and OT Cloud computing, cryptography, and more

Extensive preparation tools include topic overviews, exam alerts, CramSavers, CramQuizzes, chapter-ending review questions, author notes and tips, and an extensive glossary. The handy Cram Sheet tear-out brings together tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else—perfect for last-minute study.

Powerful Pearson Test Prep practice test software offers an extensive collection of exam-realistic practice questions, with many customization and reporting features: practice in study mode, practice exam mode, or flash card mode. The companion website also provides access to several digital assets including the Glossary and Cram Sheet.
