Udemy date is 2022, content date is 2018. By now the version of ubuntu used is quite ancient. One would imagine most people wanting a forensic vm would already know how to make a vm, so there is quite a bit of wasted time in the first half.

The course is informative, but the fact that it is outdated makes it more difficult to follow along.
