  • TANVIR AHMED SHOUROV
    It was seriously mind-blowing! The instructors were top-notch experts in the field and they made learning about cybersecurity super interesting and fun. We covered everything from penetration testing to social engineering techniques, and I even got hands-on experience breaking into simulated computer systems (legally, of course). What I loved most was how focused the course was on ethics – we were constantly reminded of the importance of using our hacking skills for good and protecting data rather than exploiting it. By the end of the course, not only did I feel like a total hacker pro, but also like a responsible one. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dive deep into the world of ethical hacking!
