Why Learn Ethical Hacking
A growing number of companies today seek ethical hackers to protect their most sensitive information. Very few days go by without breaking news, revealing break-ins, security breaches, and massive quantities of data stolen from major business organizations. Companies that house this data are the ones most at risk: therefore, ethical hacking as a certified course has quickly become one of the most sought-after qualifications in multiple industries including government, banking, research and development, retail, real estate, healthcare, and more. Learn an in-demand skill while making the world a safer place. You’ll also find that ethical hacking is a surefire way to increase your income and work towards professional development.
Why Learn From Me
The ethical hacking landscape is huge and not for the faint of heart. To become a successful ethical hacker, you don’t just need the knowledge to pass the [Certified] Ethical Hacker (TM) [1] exam; you also need the real-world skills to excel as a practicing security professional. That’s why this course has been so carefully crafted; I have distilled my 35 years of experience as a technical trainer, consultant, and pen tester into this course material.
I have personally taught my Ethical Hacker Exam prep course in person well over 300 times and have developed a course containing the spot-on knowledge of the required skill sets necessary to pass the exam. Whether you take a defensive approach against the would-be attacker or whether you wish to become a penetration tester yourself, the Ethical Hacker exam is designed to assess the tools that are in your security toolbox. If you commit the time and effort to master the concepts covered and complete the assignments and quizzes, you will set yourself up for exam day success.
I took a lighthearted approach during the course–just like I do in my regular classes–to make the course more interesting and humorous for you. I greatly enjoy hearing from my students and hope to hear about your success in the future.
Preparing for an upcoming exam date? Make sure to check out the “So You’re Ready to Take Your Test” lecture to gain insights on how to answer questions more accurately–even if you’re not sure of the answer.
By the end of the course, you’ll have everything you need to ace the Ethical Hacker Certification [1] exam and hopefully encourage new students to take this course. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.

Hi, I’m Tim Pierson. I’m a technical consultant and pen tester who is passionate about teaching. For the past 30 years, I’ve gained industry experience in security, secure coding, virtualization, and cloud. My first love, however, has always been teaching.
Speaking at well over 30 global and international hacking conferences, even keynoting 2 of them, I have always been known as the Virtualization and Cloud hacking expert. All of my invitations to speak have been on the subject of hacking virtualization and cloud environments. VMware themselves hired me to do a 30-stop tour of their top resellers to bring them up to speed on their new products! This tour involves making VMware products, such as ESX, Workstation, and other products as secure as possible.

I really enjoyed this course! Tim is an outstanding instructor—his engaging and lively teaching style makes learning a pleasure. Despite his South American accent occasionally making some words unclear, his explanations were always clear, and subtitles helped when needed. Though the material is based on older systems, the focus is on core concepts rather than specific attacks, making it timeless and valuable. The knowledge gained will be incredibly useful in my IT career and my upcoming Security+ exam. Tim, greetings from Poland! You did an amazing job—your humor and clarity make learning easy and fun. Keep creating great content and stay as enthusiastic as you are!

Some of the instructions are a little outdated as well as missing a few steps for the lab setup. But, overall great info!

This is a good match for me so far. I took this course through a local college but was not happy with the way it was taught. This is much better so far.
By Jerry Adcock on 11/10/2020
Many of the questions for the quiz are written using poor grammar, which makes it difficult, at times, to understand the true meaning of the question.
Some of the questions have portions of the sentence either out of sequence or repeated.
After finishing the first section I took the three practice quizzes and was asked several questions in the first two quizzes that were not covered in the material. This was even more evident in the third quiz.

Great stuff !

The course content are not organized properly. Videos are not in continuity to the subject. Video pops up from here and there and a learner feels disconnected as they are not connected to each other. I expected videos and course contents to be well organization atleast from the person who is teaching for a long time.
By Danny Gargano on 10/22/2020
The videos were great, however the practice quizzes were not so great. A lot of questions were just grammatically terrible and some didn't even make sense. The final practice test was much better.

It is pretty good but can be better but i am enjoying
