Fantastic Experience i have with Dr.Ed.. The Only issue that i faced is the volume of videos... volume is too low when i switch on my study room fan... Kindly work on this.

Instructor makes it easy to understand and keeps it interesting. Especially enjoy the talks and due credits to the unsung hero's of the early cyber security scene.
