HackerX: Learn Ethical Hacking 4+

Most apps make you pay the subscription. I’ve never been fond of the subscription idea, just a once and done payment is what I prefer especially on education so if I want to access it again later for any reason, I have that option without having to pay again.
HackerX allowed this when I purchased it. On top of that, its divided into multiple sections, and interactive questions as you go. It’s definitely helped in the learning curve as I come from a medical and construction background trying my hand at a new career.
It will give you tips on practice, and it has everything in small snack size bites allowing you to build a nice foundation in the fudementals before jumping and getting deeper into hacking.
I appreciate the logic and the thinking behind this application, granted it’s not a replacement for comptia certifications, but it’s a good place to start when you don’t have any other experience or know where to start.

It’s important to know how to protect yourself online, especially nowadays. Of course I’m called the millennial and this generation everyone talks to lay about is my generation. But I look forward to being part of the solution, and not the problem. I learning how to protect myself, not just physically, but against all threats is important in this course, not only will help me learn how to do that but it’s also a way to have options as far as income stream goes, and so far I’m enjoying it enough to think maybe I might take this up part time and see where it goes!

Ok the UI is pleasant and attractive. The content is very beginner focused and relies heavily on the user to go forth and use tools/websites not within the app. A beginner will get lost trying to navigate those tools with the minimal instructions provided.

Let’s talk about the “pro” membership. They advertise it as a 95% off “Black Friday” sale which has been going on a very long time and probably will indefinitely. Here’s the deal… The app and training was never worth the original price, this is just a technique to make the user experience FOMO (Fear of missing out) and boost sales. The training itself is arguably worth what they are asking now, but in my opinion it isn’t worth the bites it’s downloaded on. I refuse to support a developer that enacts such spineless marketing strategies.

So unless you plan to spend $25, I would recommend you not download the app because the vast majority of the content is locked behind a pay wall. The quality is not there, The developer is shady at best, and there are much better resources out there (TryHackMe for example).
