Very good course with a lot of information and practical knowledge. The instructor explains every aspect of ethical hacking clearly and understandably. The course is extensive and delivers good foundations for further development of the skills needed in the ethical hacking field.

Due to being an older course I have been unable to access all of the instruction. Many of the applications and ways of doing things have changed so much that this course was difficult to follow occasionally but overall a good course and the instructor is very nice and interesting

The instructor has a good knowledge, The first 2 parts of the course is good. comming to the 3rd part(advanced part) where we will code our own tools, we should have programing knowledge before. instructor teaches python as a crash course but that is not at all enough to make your own tools.
By Kanishk Agarwal on 3/19/2021
The course is amazing till now but I will suggest that after the completion of this course you should upload more lectures on ethical hacking and help us learn more. Please take my suggestion carefully.
By Nouman Hamdi on 4/11/2020
Great courses, well explained. He should have test the commands before so that we don't see those who doesn't worked to achieve perfection. Should also prepare more the videos, in some of them it looks like he discovered the app.
By Richard Carr on 2/20/2020
i have learn a lot from the course but it seems that he is learn as well as teaching, plus he hasn't plan his course content very well It seem that the content of the video hasn't been thought throw very well. if i had paid the full price i would be very disappointed the overall experience of the video is not worth the full price . i hope it just better as we go further into the course.the course got lot better when it went into the advance parts

Already having an 'AS' in IT and Network security from 2007 with A+ and Network+ certifications, it gave me a better understanding of some of the tools I never got to know that well and use hands on, some of witch are new to me. My only problem is one of the scripts I couldn't get to work. It could be for any reason, but I found it hard to follow somebody scripting on video rapidly going back and fourth, and having no copy that I could look back on to correct mistakes.

I sottotitoli aiutano tantissimo nella comprensione della spiegazione. Il corso è completo sia nella spiegazione che negli esempi. I video sono esaustivi. Dettagliati i comandi.
By Yves Perron on 5/28/2019
this is worth much than 14.00$!Because there are a lot of information it is almost 5 course in one !However sometimes the code dont'work and iti is difficult to find the errors because ther is no transcript of the code !We must rerurn the video many times to find the part with the proper code!Time consuming and confusing!
