I was expecting the use of penetesting tools not just the way of making report. All those 3 stars are for the week 4 (python scripting) course. Thank You!!

It's a very good one but theoretical it should be practical so with theory in one place we can implement theory practically too.

Thanks.

It’s a basic/entry level. Most of the videos and python labs are incredibly simple. Affordable in a couple of hours.

The audio quality of the videos in week 4 (python section) is very low, perhaps you might want to improve that.
