The course is good to begin with, however it would have been better to cover the setup of volatility on different platforms, instead of directly using a readymade distro.
It would have been better to cover a bit of theory about the subject of the course eg: memdump. mem.raw, hiberfil etc
The author could have also shown the live memory capture instead of pointing to another course that hasn't been updates since 2015. Overall it's a good course to begin with and then explore more based on the " The Art o Memory Forensics " book. It will be great to introduce more detailed courses for intermediate and advanced level before anyone else does to be the Best selling author in this field.
