Testimonials
Code D.
This was my first course on Penetration testing, it was necessary to say that, to let you know that I'm also a beginner.
The course is amazing, it is designed in such a manner that difficulty gradually increases with understanding, starting from troll3 to torment, you'll learn basic to complex Linux commands with their explanation.
The instructor is awesome, experienced and knows the right way to communicate his knowledge, it is a perfect course to get a kick start in Penetration Testing, and I highly recommend it.
Leo T.
I’m not a hacker, just someone working in information security consulting. I wanted more hands-on experience but had no interest in pursuing certifications. I had used some basic tools like Burp Suite and Metasploit in the past but these labs helped me actually put these and others into real practice. They were fun, and Jesse did a great job explaining how and why things work. I’m going back to do the previous labs.
Johnny R.
These labs were a huge help boosting my hacking and cybersecurity skills. I struggled with actually applying what I learned from other courses that just taught technique but not application. I highly recommend all 4 of these labs!
