Audio quality was poor in the very first video, but did improve. Would be good to have a bit more in-depth explanation on certain topics, for example giving a better understanding of what egghunters are, and defining Venetian Shellcode a bit better.

I took another exploit development course from Udemy prior to this one, and I found this course to be far superior! Thank you!

Would have appreciated some course notes or the powerpoint presentations being available as handouts. Other than that the course was great!

course is great. Instructor's English leaves much to be desired. He needs to speak more clearly, at a slower pace and pronounce the words properly.

Awesome! I liked the way the course is arranged and delivered. If possible, give assignments and point out other existing resources on the advance topics. (Work on the audio and video quality too, if possible.)

The sound is very very bad!!! I am not talking about the accent, but the recording of the lecturer's voice is the cheapest Mic in town and makes the explanation useless!

Really great course. This is really not a beginners course, you should have some prior knowledge of memory registers prior to working with this course. Even just a basic understanding of the general registers and the 16 bit registers. There is some references to the DH bit so flags if you want to dig a little.

Recently I finished a course from offensive security (PWK.) It was great, but the exploit part just touched on the subject of software exploitation. That's when I found Ajin Abraham's Udemy course. It's pretty amazing. It pretty much starts where PWK ends on exploit creation. This course is advanced, IMO. Ajin walks users through a deep dive of exploit creation - topics including: DEP mitigation, Egg Hunter creations, SEH handling and more. It's well worth the price and I look forward to more courses from the author.
