Reviews

Would like a more in-depth elaboration of some hacking fundamentals like - enumeration and pen testing, overall a great course for people who want to learn ethical hacking

pretty good overview, i'd send managers through this , its about on par with CISSP minus the testing

Through out the whole course, i learn some basics and some intermediate levels of knowledge and TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures)

Right amount of information for a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals.

There are demos of hacking, but it would be better to have separate practical exercises, for hacking tools or methods.
