Confusing or wrong use of linux terminology and commands. Gratuitous install of Kali Linux in VM when most apps were installed on Windows machine for convenience. Not so much "Learn real world practical and theoretical cybersecurity skills" as a very small taste of some very big topics.

Great beginners course for those looking to dip into cybersecurity. Understand that cybersecurity is a deep and complex field so this doesn’t go heavy into specifics but it’s great to show you a few of the basics and hopefully get your appetite ready for the heavy stuff. Alex is a great and funny teacher too!

One of the best well explained courses on network security/hacking I've taken on Udemy! Especially section 6 where you are actually using the command line to make changes w DNS/DHCP. The firewall lesson was better explained than the network + course I finished taking... KUDOS
