Course Name: Ethical Hacking from Scratch to Advanced Technique
Course Instructor: Mohamed Atef
Overall Verdict: Good For Beginners
Pros: Extra material to help learn the material
Cons:
Review: There are some items that i would disagree with the instructor on, but not too many, and they are opinion based only. The instructor speaks slowly, and patientlly works through material IMO. The added material for each section is a bonus, and while much of it was review. There were a couple of handouts that were pretty useful to me.

Course Review - Intensive Ethical Hacking Series
Course Name: Intensive Ethical Hacking Series
Course Instructor: Zeal Vora
Overall Verdict: Stay Away
Pros:
Cons:
Review: It seems the goal of this course is to start you at the very beginning, and then take you through the process all the way to more advanced topics in penetration testing. To be honest, there is a lot of introductory IT stuff in this course. For example the discussion on DNS should not be in this course IMO. This is something you should already know, before you start learning about Ethical Hacking. (BTW, I would strongly debate the instructor on how many types of DNS records there are, and Question and Answer are not 2 of them.)
Very tool focused, like the CEH. no discussion of programming, scripting, social engineering, etc. For the whole section on protocols and networking, we only opened Wireshark on the last lesson. Just saying.
Some favorite quotes:
"Hacking is not just about attacking the server. It is a 2 way process. one is breaking into the serve,r and the other is coming out of the server safely." --> no mention of trying to get data out. My assumption was this is what he instructor meant, but a beginner will not know this.
"Ethical hacking is not just about the point-to-click and the tool will hack into the network. it is about you trying to understand what exactly the tool does from the bottom up." --> in reality this just makes you an advanced script kiddie, IMO. Nothing about learning the network and infrastructure around you. Nothing about how to find the data that "you" the Ethical Hacker want to see, or how to get it out of the organization.

Overall verdict: Stay Away.
Better course for the money, adn this is not that expensive, so please let that tell you something.
Basic lectures are wrong in this course. The information presented about traceroute and DNS is just plain wrong in this course. Everything else is not that much different form similar coursework available from other sources. My suggestion is to look elsewhere.
