## What it is
A curated awesome-list of hacking, penetration testing, and AI red-teaming resources including courses, YouTube channels, labs, and tools. It organizes links by topic such as privilege escalation, reverse engineering, OSINT, and malware analysis.

## Use cases
- find resources to learn penetration testing
- prepare for CTF competitions
- learn privilege escalation on Linux and Windows
- study reverse engineering and buffer overflows
- find OSINT learning material
- get started in ethical hacking
- find malware analysis tutorials

## When to avoid
- you need an actual penetration testing tool rather than links
- you want structured, interactive training with labs

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: penetration-testing, osint, reverse-engineering, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: penetration-testing, security, tutorials, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, hacking-resources, ctf, privilege-escalation, malware-analysis, exploit-development, ai-red-teaming
