PLEASE NOTE
Due to the cost of Windows licensing, this course is designed around Hack The Box and TryHackMe platforms, which are additional charges, but offer an incredible variety of vulnerable machines at a fraction of the cost of one Windows license. I do not receive any financial incentive from either platform for utilizing them in the course.
Who this course is for:
- Students interested in ethical hacking and cybersecurity
- Students interested in improving privilege escalation skillset
