By Siddheswar Mohapatra on 6/17/2024

Actually I need to watch it multiple times as the info provided here is a little too advance for me. But overall presentation is good. If animation can be added in the slides, it would be great. But overall explanation pretty much covers the need of animation. Great course btw.

The part on installing Ksli on VmWare just goes straight to the end and runs Kali with no specific installation steps. Does not explain how to enable intel-VTX.
