ARES/eCRE reviews?

Very few reviews floating around about this course. Does anyone have any feedback on it?

I've enrolled ARES but haven't got a minute yet, have to finish my employer certification path (with a huge practical exam soon..) before i can move on this indeed. Although, the ARES training seems fantastic, did the 1st 3/3 theoretical parts up to now. Videos are great as well, well explained and clear to follow!

Although, i think the main maintainer of this training, Kyriakos, has left eLearnSecurity. Which isn't a problem at all expect maybe for guidance in the eCRE forums or such..

I would highly advise this course if RE is something you're interested in.

I've also recently found this out, which i think will greatly help me toward eCRE:
Reverse Engineering for Beginners -- https://beginners.re

Cheers,

Hey mokaz, as the course is several years old without an update, is all of the material such that it's foundational and wouldn't need to be updated (like their other courses)? I've had my eye on the course for a while, but had been holding out for a refresh.

I bought the course a few years ago. Never got to it, but its on my to do list for 2019. I spoke to the elearnsecurity guys at blackhat and I asked about the course. They have plans to update the course next year. So I am not sure if they have a new instructor yet. Either way hopefully I will have time in 2019 to do ARES.

I most definitely want to go over these books (courses within themselves!)
