In the current environment, where security threats to cybersecurity are always evolving and changing ethical hacking is one of the most sought-after skills. To gain a better understanding of the field I recently attended a “Learn Ethical Hacking from Scratch 2024” course taught by Zaid Sabih on UDEMY. The course was thorough and not only adequate, but it also beyond my expectations in giving me an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking and cybersecurity. Here’s an honest review of my experience with this course.
Course Overview
The course is designed to take complete beginners and transform them into high-intermediate-level ethical hackers. It covers a broad range of subjects, from basic hacking to advanced hacking techniques with a focus on practical, hands-on training.
With over 140 instructional videos (over fifteen hours of content) The course is packed with practical information and step-by-step instructions. The course exposes students to a variety of hacking tools, including Metasploit and Aircrack-ng, SQLmap, and other. The course also contains 85real-world hacking scenarios that make it very useful and enjoyable.
What I Loved About the Course
A full-course curriculum It covers all aspects of hacking and cybersecurity. If it’s testing penetration into networks or security of web applications and social engineering, the course will ensure that there is no stone left to be left unturned. Some of the most popular topics include:
Securing Wi-Fi networks as well as attacking wireless networks.
Exploiting weaknesses in web-based applications to attack websites.
Utilizing tools such as Kali Linux to discover and attack weaknesses in the system.
The ability to detect and stop Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks.
What distinguishes this course is the way that it combines hacking techniques and protection measures. Each attack which is demonstrated will be followed up by detailed description of the best methods to safeguard systems from such attacks.
Hands-On Learning
The course is very useful. Instead of overloading you with theoretical information The course focuses on real-world examples and scenarios. I had the chance to utilize tools like Metasploit and SQLmap to hack the wi-fi encryption technology (WEP/WPA/WPA2) and perform ARP Spoofing DNS,, as well as MITM attacks. The hands-on experience has made me think about not just the methods to hack, but the motivations of why certain methods work.
Beginner-Friendly
The one of these course greatest advantages is that it’s accessible to newcomers. It doesn’t require prior knowledge to begin. Course instructor Zaid Sabih has performed a superb job in explaining complex concepts in an easy and easy-to-understand method. Starting with the setup of a hacking lab to grasping Linux basics The course starts with an introduction to the basics and progresses gradually to more advanced topics.
Focus on Security
The program is intended to instruct hacking techniques, it emphasizes on the security of the systems. Every vulnerability I discovered that I could attack I was taught how to fix the issue. This dual goal will ensure that students not only understand how hackers think, but additionally acquire the essential abilities to protect their systems from attacks.
High-Quality Instructionre
Zaid Sabih can be described as a fantastic educator. His style of teaching is simple to follow, entertaining, and structured. He illustrates every concept with real-world examples. He also ensures that students understand every step of the course. His experience and enthusiasm for cybersecurity is evident in every lesson.
Key Skills I Gained
The end of this course I was able to learn a range of skills including:
Network Testing and hacking for penetration: Understanding how devices interact with one another within a network and exploiting vulnerabilities to gain access.
web application security: Identifying and exploiting weaknesses such as SQL injection XSS File inclusion and SQL injection.
Social Engineering and Malware Analysis Utilizing social engineering techniques to hack into systems and analyse malware to find and guard against malware.
Linux Competency Learning Linux basics tools, commands and much more especially using Kali Linux. Kali Linux operating system.
Who Is This Course For?
This class is perfect for:
newbies eager to start their journey to security as well ethics-based hacking.
IT professionals looking to increase their knowledge about penetration testing and the security of network.
Anyone interested in knowing how hackers think and operate and how they can protect themselves from them.
Room for Improvement
The course is excellent there are areas which could be improved
Advanced subjects: Although the course is intended for beginners however, a separate section covering advanced hacking techniques could be an a great option for students looking to move beyond the intermediate level.
Additional Real-World Case Studies Although the case studies offered are useful, adding additional real-world scenarios can enhance the value of the course.
Final Verdict
“Learn Ethical Hacking from Scratch 2024” by Zaid Sabih is a great course for anyone looking to learn more about the field of ethics-based hacking. It’s thorough practical, easy to understand, which makes it one of the most effective tools to learn cybersecurity.
The hands-on approach combined with Zaid’s clear and engaging instruction, will ensure that students not only grasp the concepts but also have the confidence to use the concepts in real-world scenarios. No matter whether you’re a total beginner or want to increase your cybersecurity skills, this course is a great investment for the future.
My Rating: (5/5)
If you’re looking to embark on an exciting journey through the cyber-security world of ethical hacking I highly suggest you to take the course. It’s a game changer for anyone who are fascinated by cybersecurity!
