It covers the full assessment flow from information security and ethical hacking fundamentals, through reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, and vulnerability analysis. The blueprint then expands into system hacking phases, malware threats, network and perimeter attacks like sniffing, social engineering, DoS/DDoS, session hijacking, and evasion of IDS/firewalls/honeypots. It further includes web application, wireless, mobile/IoT/OT, cloud computing, and cryptography domains.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/ceh-exam-blueprint-v5-exam-preparation-blueprint/179068/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/ceh-exam-blueprint-v5-exam-preparation-blueprint/179068.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Cipher","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",13,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"CEH Exam Blueprint v5 covers which main domains?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It spans information security and ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning and enumeration, system hacking and malware, network/perimeter attacks, web application hacking, wireless, mobile/IoT/OT, cloud, and cryptography.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How does the blueprint quantify exam coverage?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Each domain and sub-domain lists a number of questions and a weightage percentage, indicating the relative importance of topics in the exam.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What categories of topics are included under network and perimeter hacking?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"The blueprint includes sniffing techniques, social engineering, DoS/DDoS, session hijacking, and evasion of IDS/firewalls/honeypots along with their solutions and countermeasures.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},179068,1788335338,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",{"doc_id":79,"user_id":84,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":85,"doc_module":4,"category_id":33,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":86,"file_id":87,"file_url":88,"file_type":89,"file_size":90,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":91,"language":92,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":93,"faqs":94,"seo_title":95,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":55},687208528416,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","| Domain | Sub Domain | Description | Number of Questions | Weightage\u003Cbr>(%) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.
