#409: 2023 Path to Master Hacker

This video is NOT sponsored by TCM Security and I DO NOT get any affiliate commission if you use the links in the video description to buy courses etc from TCM.

Also,  in the interest of transparency: Heath mentions in the video and in the linked article that references to TCM Security are marked as self-promotion. 

I love it that Heath is providing so much free training and low cost training to the community. Heath is very well known and respected in the cybersecurity community. I love that he is making so much content available for free via his YouTube channel and on his website. Watch his content on YouTube, take the free courses and also do you own research and make your own decisions about the training and references he mentions. There are so many options out there for free training - see my other videos for options like free training from Cisco and other providers.
