It's fine for getting an idea of what can be done, and how ethical hacking is applied in the real world, but there is not much that can actually be used, as the tools discussed go out of date pretty fast. It would be better to buy a course that discusses the fundamentals of Linux/programming/networking and figuring out how to apply those skills in ethical hacking scenarios.

Excellent Course! The content was comprehensive and informative. The production quality exceeded my expectations. The instructor's delivery was interesting and engaging. I had a good learning experience and look forward to taking additional courses with this instructor. Thank You!

Great Content and good understandable, even as non-native-speaker. Played the Course at 1,25x and sometimes the course seems a bit improvised, which in my Opinion is positive because the Instructor really knows his stuff and seems like to naturally talk about what he knew for years. (For example: Well, accually i'll show you the packet manager later, just use vi at the moment, which is already preinstalled) I could really recommend this course for beginners. It's easy to follow and with an perfect mix between 101 and 102 content.

Los temas del curso son interesantes y la configuración del entorno de arprendizaje a lo largo del curso de muestra completamente desde 0 en cada una de las secciones, es bastante claro incluso si se tienen pocas bases sobre los temas

Overall, the information itself is terrific - and you can't beat the price! Some of the explanations would have been a little hard to follow, had I not known that specific information. The only options are Yes/No/Not sure. I'll give it a yes because I am able to follow most of them. And he could have been better organized and prepared, but hey, I'm not great at those things either, so I'm good with it. All-in-all, it's been a great course so far, and I have learned a lot.

As an IT Administrator my goal in taking this course was to get a better understanding of security risks to our systems. I definitely learned some really good stuff that will help me better appreciate the importance of good security measures and help do a better job of educating users. I ended up fast forwarding through large sections of the class as it went into great detail showing step by step how to do such things as hacking someone's wifi, sniffing internet traffic, creating a fake flash drive that installs a keylogger and phones home with keystrokes captured, etc. - things I need to know how to guard against but not actually do myself.

Very useful and complex course in same time easy to understand (that is very important!), my personal recommendation to others whom reads review is that it is pretty good idea to do wireshark course and this in same time for better understanding material better, but this course provide understanding wireshark also, enhance is my subjective idea! When i finish i will update this review and make conclusion. But so far i do not see any deficiency and i could said that Ermin did great job for Students like us as always. I giuess that you will get absolute useful and great knowledge, but also keep in mind how you will use it! That's maybe most important thing.
By Chris Castillo on 11/26/2016
This course provides exemplary content. It is a very interactive feeling course and I appreciate how the instructor shows us everything. Although some things perhaps needed a bit more explaining. I find that this course overall has taught me many new perspectives in which I can utilize to help further my skills.
By Ronald Pradel on 10/21/2016
Very interesting and informative!!! There's a tons of knowledge up for grab here. The video discussions might be fast pace for some students, if there's a pdf copy/hard copy available per download process it'll make learning easier and students' will have quick a reference as we relive/review this great materials. Nevertheless, HATS OFF! to the TEAM for putting up this class. Looking forward to options where students can download a hard copy of the lessons.

This course is absolutely fantastic! I've had a lot of trouble trying to learn how to use Linux and learning to hack (ethically), and this course has been simple and very hands on. I'm actually retaining the information and I feel very confident in being able to learn and retain the knowledge needed to become an ethical hacker.
