48. CEH v13 Exam Modules Map and Practice Questions

By Last updated:

Chala mitrano, Part 13 continue – aata CEH v13 exam-module map ani CEH-style practice questions. EC-Council CEH v13 madhe 20 exam modules aahet. He chapter tumhala sangte: konta module → aaplya book cha konta chapter, ani Blue control kay. Exam pass = knowledge check – exam is not permission to hack. Ethics pehle: OWN lab, host-only 192.168.56.x, written authorisation. Neighbour / cafe / client target never. Ghabru naka – map bagha, questions solve kara, Red vs Blue + Project finish kara. He khup important aahe!

What you will practise in this chapter

  • How to use the CEH v13 exam-module map with ethics and OWN-lab discipline
  • Modules 01–05 mapped to book chapters (Intro through Vulnerability Analysis)
  • Modules 06–10 mapped (System Hacking through Denial-of-Service)
  • Modules 11–15 mapped (Session Hijacking through SQL Injection)
  • Modules 16–20 mapped (Wireless through Cryptography)
  • CEH-style practice Set A (Modules 01–10) and Set B (Modules 11–20)
  • Quick revision table: Module → Book chapter → Blue control
  • Project Build-Hack-Fix + real incidents for exam-prep mindset

Lab scope

CEH exam modules describe attacker phases and tools at awareness level. In this book every offensive verb means only systems you own: host-only VirtualBox (Kali 192.168.56.10, Metasploitable 192.168.56.20, DVWA/Juice 192.168.56.30–.50), your Free Tier EC2, or your emulator. Never scan a classmate phone, cafe Wi-Fi, or client production. IT Act sections such as 43 and 66 apply without authority (verify current text). Passing CEH ≠ legal cover to attack. Lab = learn. Production = defend.

Chapter 48: CEH v13 map and practice — practice tasks

Open chapter lessons · Full guided lab: ceh revision tracker 20 practice questions (not repeated here)

48.1 Map course chapters to CEH modules

EasyIT

Why: See what you already covered.

What: Make a table: CEH module → our chapter numbers.

How:

  1. Use ch48 map in the course.
  2. Mark Strong / Weak.

Expected output: Table of modules with chapter refs.

Hint

Weak modules → more labs.

Answer / how to check
  1. Every CEH module has ≥1 chapter.

48.2 Timed 10-question drill

MediumBanking

Why: Exam pace matters.

What: Do 10 practice questions in 15 minutes.

How:

  1. Use the tracker lab questions.
  2. Score and note wrong topics.

Expected output: Score out of 10 + topic list.

Hint

Redo wrong ones next day.

Answer / how to check
  1. Wrong topics written.

48.3 Tool-to-phase match (paper)

EasyRetail

Why: CEH asks which tool fits which phase.

What: Match the data file.

Data file: tools.csv

ToolPhase (fill)
nmapReconnaissance
metasploitExploitation
wiresharkAnalysis / sniffing
john the ripperPassword attacks

About this file: Made-up matching. Each row is one tool. Columns: Tool; Phase to fill.

How:

  1. Read each row.

Expected output: nmap Recon; metasploit Exploitation; wireshark Analysis; john Password.

Hint

Tools can span phases — pick primary.

Answer / how to check
  1. All matched.

Extended teaching notes

Why this lesson matters

Use this lesson to strengthen systems you own: understand the risk, practise safely in a lab, then write and apply the fix.

Apply the fix across stacks

Same class of bug, same idea in every language.

Java / Spring Boot

Parameterise queries, encode output, CSRF tokens, limited Actuator, dependency scanning.

ASP.NET Core

EF Core / parameterised SQL, Razor encoding, HTTPS, Data Protection.

Node.js / Express

helmet, parameterised SQL, npm audit, avoid eval and shell concat.

Python / Django / Flask / FastAPI

ORM, autoescape, pip-audit, Bandit; never shell=True with user input.

PHP / Laravel

PDO/Eloquent, Blade escaping, composer audit.

Go / Ruby

database/sql placeholders / ActiveRecord; html/template / ERB escaping; govulncheck / Brakeman.

nginx / Apache / Tomcat

Hide versions, TLS, security headers, least-open ports.

MySQL / PostgreSQL / MongoDB / Redis

Private networks, auth on, least-privilege users, no 0.0.0.0/0.

AWS / Azure / GCP

Roles not long-lived keys, private data stores, cloud audit logs on.

Mini case study

Suppose we are on a purple-team exercise for an Indian mid-size company (sample data). Red notes a technique from this lesson against a lab clone. Blue must show the control that stops it, the log that would have fired, and the ticket that hardens production. That is the standard this course trains you for.

Defender's worksheet (do this today)

  1. Write the lesson title, date and the exact lab target you are allowed to use.
  2. List three owned systems (VMs, apps, or cloud accounts) where this lesson applies.
  3. Run one safe check from the lesson on a lab system only. Paste the command and output.
  4. Write a two-sentence fix you would give a teammate.
  5. Name one related public advisory (CERT-In, CISA, NVD, or a vendor bulletin) with its date.

Indian workplace (sample data)

Suppose we are a junior analyst at Infosys, TCS, Wipro or a fintech SOC in Bengaluru/Pune. Turn this lesson into one checklist item with an owner, a due date and a place to store evidence (ticket + screenshot).

Global practice

Compare your notes with OWASP, CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF/IR guidance or a cloud Well-Architected security question. Write five lines on what overlaps.

Everyday analogy

Explain the risk and the fix to a family member without jargon. If they can repeat the warning, you understand it well enough to teach juniors.

Key terms

  • Control: a safeguard (patch, config, process, detection).
  • Finding: a weakness backed by evidence.
  • Remediation: the fix plus how you verified it.
  • Scope: systems you have written permission to touch.
  • Least privilege: only the access the task needs.
  • Defence in depth: several layers so one failure does not end the story.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping written permission "just for a quick scan".
  • Practising on hostel, office or public targets without authorisation.
  • Collecting tool output without writing the fix.
  • Copying attack steps onto production to "verify". Defenders verify with versions, configs and patches.
  • Publishing screenshots that contain secrets, cookies or internal hostnames.

Recap

  • Evidence, fix, owner, date.
  • Own lab only.
  • Fix > spectacle.
