TL;DR; - I love the way the topics are explained, they totally click for me. This course + teacher are 10x better than equivalent content on blogs + youtube. ----- Marious' courses are awesome, and this one somehow raised the bar again. I've been coming to Marious' courses for years to get working knowledge on a variety of topics. It's my go-to when I want to learn something that I need to then apply at work. I just started a new job (transfer) in my company and I need to get up to speed on security topics. This course is not just the quickest way for me to do so, it's also extremely practical (hands on) and the way that Marious explains these topics totally clicks with me. I could read the same thing on 10 different blogs or youtube videas but when he goes through it, I GET IT. I'm greatly looking forward to completing this course! Another tool in the tool box!

the instructor explains each topic very clear and in a friendly way. All looks really great with free software to work. Another thing I like is that both the concepts and labs are very well combined so I can learn and practice at the same time. No other thing I can ask.

Next great course created by Marious, All necessary and very important topics in one place, Marious has lots of knowledge and experience, as I saw his other courses, like ccna and so one, he really knows his job, fantastic explanation of every lessons, examples, practical solving problems. Marious, you are putting a lots of passion into your work. Thanks, keep going.

If Anyone Learn This Course Must Basic Knowledge about VMware, Networking and Mainly Basic Linux Commands. Without These Knowledge You cant Understand Anything. This instructor was professional in Networking. As His Style He Was Telling Very Fast. But For Beginners Must need to Tell Everything Very Detail so they can understand. That Was Missing in this course. Am From india. His teaching Language also Some different no like US English. I understand Some Technical Words With Transcript(CC). Thank You.

This is a very good introduction to ethical hacking and I gained a lot from from the course. Each lecture covers the information at an easy pace so you don't get overwhelmed and the tutor explains things clearly. There's only as much network theory as required, so you're not overloaded with complicated information. The majority of the course introduces various aspects of hacking, different techniques, the tools that you use and how to use them. It will give you a good introduction to Ethical Hacking that you can build on.

As always, marious delivers course content that is useful and practical. Security is now everybody's responsibility. And this course delivers good basic security practicality and the stuff you need to know to defend yourself.

I wrote my first computer program in 1964, initially supported computer hardware, then software and have been consulting since 1976. Have worked with and without OS's, even without compilers.

Ok so iv only just started this course and im doing this because im studying Cyber Security at College and want to get a head start to the year. Strait away I feel this course could be improved. Right at the start when you talk about installing several applications your not clear at all, I had to do a bit or research to make sure I was installing everything correctly. I just want to mention that these courses are advertised for begginers I think a little more care needs to be taken into shown students how to install and setup. I'm yet to see what I can learn from the rest of this course if it works out I'm more than happy to give you 5 stars. Thank you

By Andre Valadao on 12/12/2019

Course was very good. Marius explains concepts clearly. I found some of the tools used in Kali to be outdated though, perhaps some small updates to the course to get it up to date

By Okemo Hodge on 8/25/2019

So far so good. I am learning a lot. The instructor is very knowledgeable. He is easy to follow and learn from what he is doing. A concise introduction to Ethical Hacking. Nicely done. I enjoyed it, and I will go thru it again.
