"This course is a powerful gateway into the world of ethical hacking. With a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, I got to explore industry-standard tools like Nmap, Metasploit, Hydra, CrackMapExec, and TheHarvester—all within the Kali Linux environment. Each module built up practical skills that are directly applicable to penetration testing and cybersecurity tasks. As someone passionate about automation and scripting, I found the integration with Python especially useful for streamlining reconnaissance and DNS lookups. The explanations were clear and accessible, helping me strengthen both my foundational knowledge and technical confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about mastering ethical hacking through real-world application."
