Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH)

Exam Code: CPEH-001

A Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH)™ is usually employed by an organization who trusts him or her to attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems, using the same methods as a hacker, for the purpose of finding and fixing computer security vulnerabilities. Unauthorized hacking (i.e., gaining access to computer systems without prior authorization from the owner) is a crime in most countries, but penetration testing done by request of the owner of the targeted system(s) or network(s) is not. A Certified Professional Ethical Hacker is a professional who uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and fortify them.
