Fotis Chantzis does an excellent job of presenting the course material. The video player is great because you can speed up the presentation and then slow down when you need to focus. It is easy to see that Fotis really has mastered Nmap because he presents Nmap in such an understandable way. The only thing that will challenge you is the nmap.org website. It is a mess and difficult to find stuff. I advise looking at the URL in the address bar when Fotis is showing you a web page and recording it in your notes for future reference. Also before you start the class print out the Nmap man page, the common ports list in packetlife.net, Ubuntu Reference from FOSSwire, and professor Messer's quick reference guide to NMAP. Note: I could not find nmap -sP in the man page. It is a ping sweep. I wish you the best, Dave
