If you are a penetration tester, malware researcher, or vulnerability researcher involved in cyber threat hunting, you should take this course. Anyone involved in Red Teaming operations should know all the tools and methods presented here in this training. If there is anyone reading this who wants to get involved in cyber security and they don't know where to begin or needs experience that is least expensive - then take this course, learn the techniques, tactics, and procedures with a $35 lifetime membership to Shodan, download the free tools, and start bug hunting and web app pen testing to grow your bank account, but more importantly - your experience. I wish this was around when I was in college - it makes for great skills in cyber hunting without large sums of money to learn from multiple vendors. This course is highly recommended!
