Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.

I, [private], [private] at EC-Council International Limited (“EC-Council”), am the duly authorized representative of the copyright holder of the content that is being hosted on your servers without permission.

EC-Council owns the following trademarks and owns the copyright over the course and has full authority to report infringement containing the trademarks and copyrighted materials that are identical to or substantially indistinguishable from the Intellectual Property of EC-Council.

[private]

Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.

Several links that your website is hosting are infringing on at least one (1) if not more copyrights(s) owned by EC-Council. The practical material sourced from various cybersecurity courses of EC-Council official courses like “Certified Ethical Hacker”, is being unlawfully uploaded in the form of “CEH Practical” through your website without permission and in blatant violation of our proprietary rights. Furthermore, EC-Council is the owner and developer of the course “Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)” and owns copyright in all its versions which [private] has illegally uploaded through its GitHub Account. The customers seeking EC-Council’s courses may be misled into thinking that the infringing content and courses uploaded are endorsed or affiliated with EC-Council. As a result of the misrepresentation caused by the account owner, EC-Council is likely to suffer damage in the form of loss of sales, damage to its reputation, and further risks confusing our clients. We assert that this is a clear intent of riding freely on the goodwill of EC-Council.

What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.

Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure.

Yes

What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?

Please note that these courseware materials are provided only to the candidates enrolled in the official EC-Council Course while they are attempting the official EC-Council examination and are not publicly accessible. They are copyrighted materials solely owned by EC-Council. These violations of EC-Council’s intellectual property rights also undermines the integrity of educational assessment and damages EC-Council’s reputation associated with the content of the copyrighted materials, as well as the sanctity of EC-Council's examinations.

How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?

The title of the PDF makes use of our registered trademark and content of the PDF is EC-Council's copyrighted materials, that is causing confusion and misleading the public. There is no description provided that adequately capture the relationship between the content provider and EC-Council and therefore, it is confusing the users as to the origin of the content. The users believe that the infringing content is that of EC-Council and is being endorsed by EC-Council.

Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.

No, there is not any other forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories.

Is the work licensed under an open source license?

What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?

Reported content must be removed

Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.

No, we don't have the alleged infringer's contact information.

I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.

I have taken fair use into consideration.

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.

So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.
