Offensive security courses are everywhere these days, but very few truly deliver a deep, hands-on experience that feels like the real deal. I recently completed the Hacking Enterprises 2025 Edition course from In.Security, led by Will Hunt, and after taking it twice now, I’m excited to share what makes this course stand out.
Personal Experience & Tips
This is easily my top hacking course, and the reason I took it again is simple: knowledge isn’t heavy, and repetition is the mother of learning. The 2025 edition builds impressively on the 2022 release, with fresh content and updated labs that keep you on the cutting edge.
I took this course during Security Fest in Gothenburg, which was an amazing experience in itself the energy, community, and focus on security really added to the learning atmosphere.
If you love password cracking, you’re in for a treat. Will Hunt gets genuinely excited when diving into cracking techniques he’ll talk your ear off and show you everything you need to know. Plus, they even offer a free dedicated password cracking course that complements this training perfectly.
One highlight for me was the CTF platform, which offers extra practice beyond the guided labs and really challenges you to apply what you’ve learned. My tip: don’t rush through the material. Take your time in the labs, experiment with different approaches, and lean on the Discord support the community and consultants there are invaluable when you get stuck.
If you want an ethical hacking course that feels like the real deal, packed with practical exercises and expert guidance, this course is a no-brainer.
