A summary of the course
A very interesting course that allows us to understand how irresponsible we are to our safety. In my opinion, it is necessary for people working as system administrators.
It was a great course on cyber security and attacks. Trainer exhibited great knowledge on issues of security.
As always the lecturer teaches in a nice and clear manner, starting by going through some basics before moving on to some novice/intermediate stuff.
Overall I found the course to be a good experience, although networking has never been my strongest field in terms of computing, most of the networking concepts are explained by the lecturer really well.
