Testimonials
Chris B.
First, I have to say that from taking Jesse's first course that you have a top-not subject matter expert in Penetration Testing / Ethical Hacking.
Direct concise and in-depth explanations of the vulnerability scanning, enumeration, privilege escalation, and exploitation process, (plus much, much more)
Excellent demonstration and walkthrough of the aforementioned processes. I found the introduction and usage of Burp Suite to be very helpful as I had no previous experience with it.
I liked that this course used Oracle's Virtual Box open-source hosted hypervisor.
And, since taking up Pentesting / Ethical Hacking the instructor hits the nail on the head when he emphasizes the importance of using search engines to work through troubleshooting issues. Whether you are pentesting, programming or just downloading a new OS, you will, from time-to-encounter issues and problems. You have a wealth of information at your fingertips-- Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.
Keep your eyes and ears open because there is a lot to learn and gain from this course.
Douglas B.
I did not expect this course to be this good. I am honestly surprised and I'm definitely recommending this course to my colleagues.
Jesse gets right to the point and works with current resources that anyone can access online. You can tell from his demonstrations that he is at the top of his game with the content.
Thank you, Jesse.
This was an amazing course.
Joseph B.
