[edit] You Mention That Hacking is a Felony

According to the Wikipedia article on "hacking", "A hacker is often someone who creates and modifies computer software or computer hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items. A hacker is also someone who modifies electronics, for example, ham radio transceivers, printers or even home sprinkler systems to get extra functionality or performance." Since when is this a felony? Even when you're talking about hackers in the field of security, not every hacker is out to commit a "felony". Perhaps "illegal hacking" should be used in this context?

Just trying to avoid any misconceptions of the term or, for that matter, two Wikipedia articles going against each other.

I fixed that. Felony is pointlessly specific and inaccurate in this context. Jclemens (talk) 05:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

Hi all. I have started this page. It is actually my first page (and quite possibly my first edit as well). Enjoy! Jeremys779 01:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, I don't know how to get it into a category, but I took that code from another certification page, so what else do I have to do? Jeremys779 01:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

Article was lacking with a proper definition of CEH so I have updated it.Digitalfunda 09:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Investigation and MSS degree

The investigation information does not provide any sources. I am going to remove it.

The MSS information would be better suited for a page on the EC-Council, instead of a page dedicated to the CEH certification. Any thoughts? I am going to remove it as well if no one is going to object. Jeremys779 03:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Copyright Violation

The entire text of this article seems to be directly copied from [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.10.157.5 (talk) 05:11, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

Good grief I hope that no one copyrighted the mess I just edited. Jclemens (talk) 05:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Overhauled

Ok, I fixed a bunch of the errors, grammar, puffery, and outright tomfoolery in this article. Some of the facts and whatnot I can't help at the moment, but I may later. Feel free to update anything you know needs updating. Jclemens (talk) 05:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
