Velocidad de habla demasiado rápido y poco didáctico para el contenido que pretende proporcionar, sobre todo en la parte final. Poco detalle en los comandos avanzados.

I learnt new things on my required topic . I am studying +2 and want to learn ethical hacking this course helps me to start the beginning of my journey
By Craig Kennel on 12/13/2023
I don't know what you were late for, but maybe you should create courses when you don't have somewhere to be. Other than the speed-talking the information shown in this short course is quite useful.
