## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources for learning web application security, including books, documentation, tools, cheat sheets, courses, labs, and online hacking demonstration sites. It serves as a starting point for anyone wanting to learn about web hacking and penetration testing.

## Use cases
- learn web application security from scratch
- find penetration testing tools and resources
- curated list of web hacking books and courses
- starting point for learning ethical hacking
- discover online hacking labs and practice sites
- web security cheat sheets and documentation

## When to avoid
- you need an actual scanning or exploitation tool rather than a list of links
- you want a structured course with hands-on exercises rather than a resource index
- you need offensive security tooling for a specific framework or stack
