This course is amazing, it shows the basic methodology on how to attack your machine with different techniques. Totally recommend if you want to practice boot2root ctfs.
By Job Mayoral Martinez on 10/24/2024
esta muy interesante. aunque tal vez enfocarlo a configuracion en windows usando tambien los mismos protocolos que windos brinda podria ser una buena opcion

Stapler CTF has a serious error which should be corrected. Wish the scenarios were more real-world and more different from each other. I'll try some more of these classes and see what they're like. Thanks!

Good course Audio could be a little bit better. Regarding the provided information and the knowledge which you gain by this course is good. I recommended.
By Joshua Martin on 7/21/2020
This is a great course that really gets the noggin thinking on how everything works together in pen testing. What makes it greater is Professor K goes through each step of the process and explains what is happening. I do recommend taking an ethical hacking course before this though as this course builds upon the fundamentals of ethical hacking. 5/5
By Michal on 1/26/2020
Generally idea was good, but if this course is interned to people who have some experience with ethical hacking explaining process of copying file to directory, copy/pasting commands/filenames is not sth what I should see in such course.
By Gift Gaja on 12/17/2019
A well thought out presentation. Easy to follow and well narrated. You don’t need to be told, this course puts you in the driver’s seat. Awesome instructor.
By Miguel Castillo on 10/28/2019
This is for more the best penetration test course ever taken, this training challenged me out to think out of the box. The instructor exposed every topic and example in a very clear way, on the other hand the resources (guides, virtual machines, links, commands, and tools) were used and gave me as another way to clarify any concept. Congratulations and really excited about this training.
By Brava man on 6/30/2019
Excellent course!! The Professor is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and is able to present the concepts in a way that is easily understandable. I feel confident in the knowledge being gained from the course, and feel ready to implement.
