Amazing.. Though I wouldn't say it doesn't require any previous knowledge.. it still requires some basic knowledge about networks and protocols (which I didn't have), However.. I really enjoyed it

I got something out of it and enjoyed it and want to pursue this field further but am poor and in a Catch 22 - no job, no money. One of the instructors was extremely difficult to understand.

For a beginner, I learned a lot.

It would be very useful if the PDF's used in the video lessons were available to download or access as the videos were not always clear enough to decipher.
