Before You Book CPEH-001, Read This
The CPEH-001 exam is how GAQM decides who earns the Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) certification, positioned at the Professional level. It checks whether you can apply the GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) objectives to realistic problems — the skill employers are actually hiring for. It also sits within a broader certification ecosystem covering GAQM Information Systems Security, so the effort compounds across your career. In a crowded global market, that badge is a competitive edge you can point to.
The GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) blueprint spans 3 domains, led by Module 1, Module 3, and Module 2. Use the weightings as a budget: heavier domains earn heavier slices of your week. The full topic breakdown is in the exam topics section above — plan against it, not against hunches.
The GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) exam fits 100 questions into 120 minutes. Do the arithmetic before test day: minutes divided by questions is your per-item budget, and anything eating double its budget gets flagged for the end-of-exam sweep. Rehearse the pacing against a live timer — every ValidVCE engine session enforces one — until finishing with spare review time is routine.
Passing GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) takes 70% (70 out of 100), and each attempt costs 190 USD (exam voucher); 210 USD (premium package) — retakes included, at full price. The rational strategy is arriving over-prepared: drill with ValidVCE practice questions until your timed scores clear the mark several sessions running, then register. You're not being timid; you're refusing to buy the same exam twice.

GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) Sample Questions:
After a client sends a connection request (SYN) packet to the server, the server will respond (SYN-ACK) with a sequence number of its choosing, which then must be acknowledged (ACK) by the client. This sequence number is predictable; the attack connects to a service first with its own IP address, records the sequence number chosen, and then opens a second connection from a forged IP address. The attack doesn't see the SYN-ACK (or any other packet) from the server, but can guess the correct responses. If the source IP address is used for authentication, then the attacker can use the one-sided communication to break into the server. What attacks can you successfully launch against a server using the above technique?
- A. Web page defacement attacks
- B. IP spoofing attacks
- C. Denial of Service attacks
- D. Session Hijacking attacks
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
During the intelligence gathering phase of a penetration test, you come across a press release by a security products vendor stating that they have signed a multi-million dollar agreement with the company you are targeting. The contract was for vulnerability assessment tools and network based IDS systems. While researching on that particular brand of IDS you notice that its default installation allows it to perform sniffing and attack analysis on one NIC and caters to its management and reporting on another NIC. The sniffing interface is completely unbound from the TCP/IP stack by default. Assuming the defaults were used, how can you detect these sniffing interfaces?
- A. Set your IP to that of the IDS and look for it as it attempts to knock your computer off the network.
- B. The sniffing interface cannot be detected.
- C. Send your attack traffic and look for it to be dropped by the IDS.
- D. Use a ping flood against the IP of the sniffing NIC and look for latency in the responses.
