    I watched this video to get somewhat an introduction to the basics of WHAT hacking it. I knew that just about anything is on Youtube, and I saw you your video, and basically knew it was legit because it was a long video, (Which tells me that you are committed), and it had a picture of someone talking on it. I just knew that this video would introduce me, and that is EXACTLY what is did. I did not need to get into how to hack, or anything more advanced than what I needed. This video was perfect on just telling me the basics, and what it is.

    Because of this video (Which was the first video I saw of Eli’s videos) I have subscribed to his lessons, which I know will be helping me get a little more education then what I had before I watched his videos. Eli, just want to say thank you, for your very well organized, very educated, lessons, that are not just short 3 minute lessons, but the full lesson that takes an hour. Very informative information. And the best part about it, is that it is free.
