Deep Dive
$999 per attempt. The GCIH covers the full incident response lifecycle from both sides of the attack.
106 questions. 4 hours. Open book. 70% to pass. The exam tests how attackers operate and how defenders respond - reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement on one side, and detection, containment, eradication, and recovery on the other. You need to understand both to pass. Candidates who know incident response but haven't studied attacker techniques consistently get caught out.
842 questions is not an accident. The GCIH covers a lot of ground and this PDF matches it. Use it to find the gaps before GIAC does.
If my free YouTube content is enough to pass, great. But if you want the full question bank before you sit down, this PDF is for you.
