اذا كنت مبتدئ فهذا الكورس جداً مناسب لك في البداية اعتقدت اني ضيعت وقتي لان بعض الاقسام في هذا الكورس اساسيات مملة اذا كان عندك هذه الاساسيات لكن مع التقدم في الكورس استطيع ان اقول انك ستتعلم كل شي اساسي من الصفر و في النهاية حسيت اني تعلمت بطريقة صحيحة و اسس قوية

As of this date, a few of the links in the resources could be updated and discovered some links were duplicates on other modules. I enjoyed learning about the security resources available and why the instructor recommends the options discussed in Volume 1.

Believe me, I am not joking: In the second video he will show you something that is worth a multiple of the course costs in GOLD. But don't just believe me - see for yourself. And the course really is suited for even a complete beginner, so do not be intimidated by the subject.

Amazing course, with a perfect lecturer. Understandable explanations, however some lessons should have been updated. Nevertheless - as I mentioned - it is flawless.

Hola, hasta el momento la teoria explicada por Nathan es muy buena pero siento que este primer modulo no hay nada de practica con los programas que explican ya que el dijo en la introducción que las 3 primeras secciones serían de teoria y el resto sería de práctica que es lo que se requiere para este tipo de formación. Es mi pensar a lo mejor estoy equivocado porque voy por la mitad de curso, ya vi que se necesita el volumen 2 que es donde se trabaja mas con las herramientas de práctica de hacking que es lo que quiero hacer realmente. Gracias por su tiempo

Ciekawy kurs z zagadnień cyberbezpieczeństwa. Autor skupił się na podstawach oraz przedstawia różnego rodzaju systemy i materiały. Nie znajdziemy tutaj skomplikowanych "auto magicznych" sztuczek jak zdemaskować "hakera". Pewne systemy oraz strony omawiane w trakcie mogą budzić wątpliwości - kwestia podejścia jak bardzo ufasz autorowi. Kurs trwa 12h w temacie podstaw IT, bezpieczeństwa oraz różnego rodzaju systemów. Dość ciekawa pozycja, widać również sporo pracy autora. 4,5 gwiazdki ze względu na "Polskie" napisy. Jeśli ktoś słabo zna j. ang. to napisy zazwyczaj tłumaczą się na bzdurę w tych najważniejszych momentach. Jeżeli ktoś nie zna ang. za grosz to opierając się o napisy nie jestem pewny czy 12h czytania maszynowego tłumaczenia (często bełkotu) wyjdzie komuś na dobre. Z plusów autor mówi bardzo wyraźnie i stosunkowo wolno więc nie ma problemu aby zrozumieć o co chodzi jeśli ktoś ma podstawy ang. Być może warty odświeżenia - ale tutaj się nie czepiam - daty utworzenia kursów są widoczne przy zakupie. Każdy musi ocenić indywidualnie czy kurs spełnia jego oczekiwania.

Awesome course. Sometimes complicated technical language is used, and I need to find more details on the Internet, even for basic things, such as Parkekian Hexad.

These courses are like drinking from a file hose but all 4 keep reenforcing what you learn. Excellent.
