This Course Hops Directly Into Step By Step Pentesting Without Any Extra Long Talks by Sadaf Bhatti July 12, 2021.
I like the ease with which the instructor takes you thru everything step by step. I have had some training but this was like a quick review with no extra long talking building up to it. He included basic commands and the background that is bare minimum required. I have a bit more to go but he is still building more lectures on firewalls and evasion so I'm looking forward to that and it was good to see burp suite and cms as part of this and now firewalls and anti-virus. I think as a security plus learner this was very good material range covered. Thank you.
Brilliant Course with Extremely Wide Coverage of PenTesting Topics by Safak Keskin July 16, 2021.
So far I think this course is pretty brilliant as it provides and suggests many different tools to use, how to use them and how to elevate or improve the understanding or varieties and effectiveness on tools. I have yet to reach the pen testing chapters but so far so good. one down side for some users might be that they would need to do their own research on things like ports (TCP/IP UDP etc) functionalities and networking in general. a good place to look like be the network+ certificate pdfs that can be easily googled.

One of The Best & Most Realistic Courses to Start In This Field; Brilliant Methodology (Translated from Spanish) by Daniel González Aug 19, 2021
The way of explaining and the agenda created is very attached to the real world, so it will be one of the best courses to start in the field. Making mistakes and exposing them on video is excellent to know how to solve them and its methodology in my opinion has been the best I have taken.
What you can see from reading these three reviews is that students love the way I teach things in a clear and engaging style, providing exactly what you need. The lectures themselves are helpful and will inspire you to try actually doing what you see I do. Then when you try to learn and have problems, you experience the greatest value of the course which is access to the instructor for help. You can ask anything related to the course and I will give you a thoughtful answer which will consistently help you solve the problems you are having in learning ethical hacking and penetration testing.

Avinash Yadav
Avinash Yadav is a young Information Security Expert with a special focus on cybersecurity management as well as double-blind penetration testing.
In his learning phase, he had struggled a lot due to lack of thoughtfully curated sources of information to learn such an important skill. When he started to work on real projects, he could hardly find anything useful from what was taught in the traditional online cybersecurity schools.
Finally, after getting proper guidance and direction from some adept professionals coupled with observations from his own failures, experiences and constant experiments, he learned some really sought-after skills that helped him develop his expertise in Cybersecurity.
He brings his experience on the table through the medium of his passion for teaching. He has authored a couple of online courses with well curated concepts and practicals on Penetration testing and Information Security that the students can pursue to build up skills that are actually needed to be able to work in the Cybersecurity domain rather than just focussing on random sources of information.
Here on Udemy, He looks forward to helping aspiring students on their journey to explore penetration testing, ethical hacking, and information security in order to become the person they would want to be, in an arguably short period of time!

By Efrain Maldonado García on 4/12/2023
Es bueno mucho del aprendizaje, sin embargo hay que actualizar ciertos puntos del hacking que han quedado obsoletos. Además me gustaría mucho que se ampliara más el tema de evasión de protecciones ya que es parte esencial del pentester.
By Oscar Sánchez on 12/6/2022
Very complete course, very clear, good explanations, sometimes he had some issues with the software but that's very normal using this tools it shows you what can happen to you as well on a real scenario and shows some fast fixes to the issues, overall I highly recommend this course to begginners and medium students regarding pen testing.
By Bala Ganesh on 11/21/2022
Actually, what am trying to say...regards the web penetration lab, We can't change the IP address of Virtual machine DHCP Settings. So particular testing we cant do it...Still am updating updating myself with your learning course...Thanks for your understanding & clear videos... Don't bother about we are having money or not to buy the Vmware Pro edition....Have you informed those settings not in there free edition. I found the uner the Q& A section . Am not having any intension to wrong information about course. Don't except those above reply from yours...Thanks

I've just finished the whole course today. Before this I already took another web pentesting course, which was a good start but neither systematic nor practical. This course instead gives me a methodology to do the pentesting job and continue the learning path by myself. But the con of the course is that it is not so deep. But I understand that this course aims at giving us a big picture and having the knowledge to do basic work. I've learnt the whole pentesting process: recon - vulnerability assessment - exploit - post-exploit - report, so I can utilize the process into my real work. Also, I've noticed that doing the research is the most important thing of all the pentesting process. From recon through finding exp scripts and payloads, all of which involve searching techiniques. The next step I'm going to use the methodology I learnt here to hack most of the vulnhub VMs based on "NetSecFocus Trophy Room" VM list. I also bought the Sql injection course that I'm looking forward to learning it.

actually i have basic knowledge too on ethical hacking .. learn more or hunger for more because of i was a victim of hacked owned my machine. so slowly i learned and make my own network or home secure. the problem is i don't have this approach on how too become a PT. and all the pages where we can make a passive information gathering was awesome. i know that this first methodologies is most important of all. more info == more ways or possible find more solution to straighten the security. thanks Avinash for the hard work.

Dear Sir, that was a really fantastic course. Your voice was clear. Everything you said was full of knowledge. I learnt a lot. You gave amazing inside information. Highly recommend this course. Was really fun and thanks a lot. Best regards Farooq

First Avinash said "MSFVENOM is very know", but in the class he use it with shikata_ga_nai encode, and his evasion (bypass - Section 8) consist in loop and loop into winrar, this doesn't work for advanced EDR's (Crowstrike, SentinelOne, Windows Defender, McAfee, Symantec, etc). And i think that is important to gain access in a system. Avinash delete my questions about it.
By Daniel González on 8/18/2021
La forma de explicar y el temario creado es muy apegado al mundo real, por lo que será de los mejores cursos para iniciar en el ramo. El cometer errores y exponerlos en video es excelente para saber como resolverlos y su metodología a mi opinión ha sido la mejor que he tomado. Felicidades
