Great course, I eventually was able to get all the required files, I am learning a lot, the instructor's examples are on "fire"...makes the concepts very easy to understand. I hope this will be a good base for the exam!!

The instructor was *extremely* knowledgeable & very well prepared. He was easy to follow & his lab demonstrations were very well put together. He provided all the resources needed to reconstruct the labs.

By Terrence Sterling C/o MELTOS TECHNOLOGY on 1/23/2024

I preferred this lecture course. He uses examples and his course steps are so simple. I bought this same course from a different lecture and it is just terrible. Thank Ahmad you got this right on the mark, this is why I continue to buy all my security training from you. You know what you are doing.
