"Finally a clear course on Kali!
OMG thank you so much, I finally have a working kali linux installation on my computer!
This course is simply amazingly clear! I`ve never used any other os apart from Windows and Kali always was a mistery to me let alone installing it on my virtual machine. BUT this course solved it, I just followed the instructions and less than 10 minutes later kali is installed and working! The whole course is presented super clear, great video quality and no steps missed!
Cannot recommend it enough!" - TWO 2

Actionally, there are a lot of missing information, and there a lot of time that we loss like on progress of downloading or on the progress of instalation if there not important information so pause the video and continue when after that
By Mohammed Jaffer on 10/30/2019
Good start for a beginner. First 5 sections are really good and informative. From sections 6 it was more about installing different OS, tools and programming not at all in detail. It would have been great if you have concentrated more on only Kali Linux OS and teaching some more tools of Kali rather than concentrating on programming. Duration: It took me only 36 hours (8 hours/day i.e 6 days) as i have prior knowledge about Kali Linux and Python. Over all good course to start as a Beginner. Thank you.

Yeah, overall its a good course for newcomers like me. So far I've learnt a good number of things and most of them were quite interesting. But as there's always room for improvement, i think it would be better if the speed of the lecturer's speech was a bit faster. Bcz, at times it felt quit slow and dull. And also when the instructor just says something in a fixed screen to tell about the prospect of some lessons, i think at those times if some related images of those real-life prospects are displayed then it would avoid getting bored. I also couldn't understand the need for switching to centOS and go to the hassle of doing the installation of metasploit, python etc whereas everything was pre-configured in Kali Linux. Also the Veil platform encouraged to use Kali. And lastly the perl section ended quite abruptly without completing the loops and other features of Perl. I think all of the above things can be improved upon for a more fruitful and interesting course. But again thanx for teaching us a lot new interesting things with such great care and determination.

The course is good but there seems to be a link missing between the next subsequent video. Its like the next video is not starting where the previous one left. Its not for all but there are quite a few

By Chris Beck on 5/20/2017
very helpful and tells you step by step of every thing but not were to get all the programs needed like how he did the install the oracle virtual box manger was a easy fine off google :)
By Harry Spires on 1/18/2017
The instructor is hurried, hard to follow along with and several of the projects shown don't work. I went through a couple of the lessons many times to make sure I was doing everything exactly as explained and it still did not work. Some of the information gathering techniques shown here are very good but not really anything new. This is the second course I've taken with this instructor and I will avoid his courses from now on.
By Abbaas Abid on 10/10/2016
