From network fundamentals to cloud security, build real offensive-security skills in a live, instructor-led cohort — not pre-recorded videos. Led by Anjum Nazir, Founder & CEO of Geeks Hub and published security researcher.
Batch starts 1st Oct, 2026 · 2 Live Sessions/Week · $250 (PKR 75,000)
Anjum Nazir is Founder & CEO of Geeks Hub, an IT security, audit, and software engineering firm, and a published ML/security researcher — creator of GuardBERT (an IoT intrusion detection model) and GuardCode (a privacy-preserving network traffic encoding method).
Every module pairs theory with live labs — Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Nmap, Aircrack-ng, and more.
Geeks Hub runs live penetration testing and GRC engagements for clients. You're learning what's actually used in the field, not a textbook version of it.
Anjum also holds an academic affiliation at NUCES-FAST, bringing structured, research-backed depth to a practical, tool-heavy curriculum.
Special discount: Group registrations and anyone affiliated with a university (students, faculty and staff) get a discounted rate. Pick your registration type in the form below and we will apply it.
Anjum Nazir is the Founder & CEO of Geeks Hub, a Pakistan-based IT security, audit, and software engineering firm serving clients across cybersecurity consulting, software development, and system integration. Anjum also holds an academic affiliation with NUCES-FAST and has published research in applied AI security, including GuardBERT, a lightweight BERT-based model for IoT intrusion detection, and GuardCode, a privacy-preserving network traffic encoding technique built on cellular automata. This course draws directly from that combination of live client engagements and applied research — not a generic, recycled syllabus.
“
Transformative, Real-World Cybersecurity Training.
Mr. Anjum Nazir is a rare educator who seamlessly translates active industry exposure into actionable classroom expertise. Having experienced his teaching both in university coursework (Applied Cryptography & Cyber Security) and in this Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity program, I can attest to the profound impact of his practical methodology. His ability to deconstruct complex security frameworks and analyze live market scenarios equips students with authentic, job-ready capabilities.
What sets Mr. Anjum apart is his active immersion in the current cybersecurity market. Rather than relying on outdated academic models, he enriches every lesson with real-time incident scenarios, live threat dynamics, and hands-on operational insights. He doesn’t just teach the theory—he shows you how it actually works in real life. Highly recommended for aspiring security professionals!

Best for:
Prerequisites: You do not need previous ethical hacking experience or a cybersecurity certification to join. You should be comfortable using a computer and willing to practice regularly.
Yes. You will need your own laptop or desktop to participate fully in the practical exercises. Most labs use a local virtual environment containing security tools and intentionally vulnerable systems.
We recommend 16 GB RAM, 100 GB of free storage, and a processor that supports hardware virtualization. Please review the prerequisites before registering.
Your practice environment should be isolated from production systems. Some wireless exercises may require a compatible external USB Wi-Fi adapter.
Live sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled participants for revision and catching up on missed classes. Attending live is encouraged so you can ask questions, take part in discussions, and receive help during practical exercises.
If you miss a session, review the recording and complete its exercises before the next class. Recordings are for your personal learning and must not be shared or redistributed.
Yes. Geeks Hub issues a certificate of completion to participants who meet the course’s attendance and practical-work requirements. These requirements will be shared at the start of the course.
The certificate recognises completion of this training. It is separate from professional certifications such as CEH or OSCP, which have their own assessment and examination requirements.
Please contact Geeks Hub before making payment to review the refund, cancellation, and batch-transfer terms applicable to your registration.
If your circumstances change after enrolling, notify us as early as possible. Refund or transfer requests will be assessed according to the terms shared at registration and, for batch transfers, the availability of a suitable future cohort.
If Geeks Hub needs to change the course schedule, registered participants will be notified and informed of the available arrangements.
This course builds knowledge and practical skills that overlap with parts of the CEH and OSCP learning paths, including reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and privilege escalation.
However, it is not an official CEH or OSCP preparation programme, and the course fee does not include either certification exam or an exam voucher.
You can use the training as a foundation for further study. Certification candidates should expect additional preparation against their chosen exam’s current requirements, particularly the extensive independent lab practice needed for OSCP.
Yes, provided you have basic computer skills and are ready to spend additional time practising. The course begins with cybersecurity and networking fundamentals before progressing to security tools and practical exercises.
You do not need previous hacking experience. However, this is a technical course, and topics such as networking, Linux commands, and virtual machines may require extra effort if they are entirely new to you.
If you are not yet comfortable installing software or managing files on your computer, contact us before enrolling. We can help you assess whether you are ready for the course and identify what to learn first.
Batch starts 1st Oct, 2026. Limited seats available for this live cohort.
