COURSE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL, INSTRUCTOR SEEMED TO BE CONFUSED AND VIDEOS ARE CROPPED RESULTING IN ALOT OF MIISING COURSE DATA. SIEM AND SPLUNK IS ALSO NOT WELL EXPLAINED AND INSTRUCTOR GOES OUT OF TOPIC TOO MUCH.

Trainer was in most places just reading out the slides. you feel he is also seeing the feature the very first time himself and struggling at times, .. leaning on filler words, such as “um,” “ah,” or “Right" .. not worth it if you have to pay Rs 1920 or more.
By Jan Linhart on 10/17/2020
amazig course, some things are there twice, but it is not a bad thing. thank you
By Aritra Chakraborty on 8/23/2020
Theoritically very sound, but the videos keep stopping, less amount or no practical at all. Whole thing is class recording, not professional at all. You would expect something more professional, but if you are looking for a good theory based approach to get started, I would definitely recommend this one.
By Seyed Farshid Miri on 7/11/2020
The splunk part was great, specially the SPL queries was educational. the rest was something I could read over thehackernews or things like that :D
By Victor Gualdron on 6/10/2020
Excelente, es prácticamente lo que forma parte de un expecielista en cyberseguridad, usando las herramientas como wireshark, y me imagino que otras del top 10 de OWASP
