was hoping to learn on the technology behind cyber attack and cyber security, not to hear an overview on what is cyber and who use it

Good introductory course.

By Christopher Hodges on 2/2/2020

This course covered a lot of review material after having graduated and already obtained the Security+. Not a 5 star simply because of the almost pure death by powerpoint. However, the value is that it expanded on some information that other coursework has not covered quite yet and did later in the course detail handling of various security tools in a brief overview.

By Atsuro Kagawa on 11/20/2019

Good match so far.
I noticed that there's one minor error in Section 1.2 of the course "What is "Cyber"?". The 1984 novel that the word Cyber was coined seems to be titled "Neuromancer" and not "Necromancer."
