This class is perfect for me! I used to follow Mr. Yang on YouTube; however, I knew it was more that he had to offer. Now, I will take all of his courses on Udemy. I am so happy and blessed for this course. Thank you, sir.

By Frank Sinnigen on 8/22/2025

Great introduction with lots of practical examples and clear explanations. The only downside is that he speaks quite fast at times, but overall an excellent course!

By Rick Corrigan on 11/11/2024

While I think these videos are great, for some who don't hear and rely on CC, videos for visual was a bit blurry in some but not all. Great stuff Loi!!!

By Md Najmus Sakib on 9/18/2024

The downsides of the course are that no course notes are provided, and there are no daily task guidelines. However, it remains one of the best courses for understanding attack methods and the relevant tools. So 3.5 stars are justified.

By Sangram on 12/22/2023

not for beginners and also need to explain some concept briefly and i think these videos are already upload on his YT, Totally disappointed in 60 percent of the course while the 40 percent is what I feel good enough.

By Jakub Wroński on 9/23/2023

Great course. I knew very little about ethical hacking when I joined the course and still find it useful. I recommend this course for beginners as you will have a good understanding of the basics of penetration testing. Mr. Hacker Loi is a great guy with an amazing sense of humor. One thing that annoyed me was that some of the episodes discussing Metasploit seemed a bit repetitive. Either way, great course!

By Sandeep Muttepawar on 5/25/2022

the best course for me. happy with this course . started learning ethical hacking and cyber security from 2 months this course helping me to learn effectively thank you for course hacker loi : )

By Rothin Mandal on 4/6/2022

In just 2 days of my enrollment I have completed 38 lecture videos and so far my experice is great! However, it seems to me that some of the tecnique used in this program do not work anyome in 2022, those might have worked back in 2020 but now became obsolete i.e those bug fixces mighte have already done hence some technique need to be updated accordingly. One such example is Android password reset using adb shell ( Tested using Windows 11 and Android Virtual devices and it did not worked out )

By David Pimentel on 12/25/2021

Excellent course, great content, instructor knows how to explain and demonstrations are very useful in order to understand every subject

By Mike Woods on 7/9/2021

This course was amazing. Loi Liang Yang has to be one the best instructors I've come across regarding pentesting and cyber security. I'd assume he has some of the best content on udemy, as he certainly does on youtube.
