The companion repository for the book 'Black Hat Rust', teaching applied offensive security by building real-world attack tools in Rust. It covers scanners, exploits, phishing kits, implants, shellcodes, and C2 beacons from theory to practice.

Use cases

• learn offensive security with rust
• build a c2 server in rust
• write shellcodes in rust
• learn rust through security tooling
• red team tool development tutorial
• build a phishing toolkit
• transition from developer to security engineer

When to choose

• you want hands-on code for offensive security concepts
• you know programming and want to learn security or Rust
• you prefer learning by building tools from scratch rather than using Metasploit

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready pentesting toolkit rather than educational code
• you want to learn programming fundamentals from scratch
• you need defensive security guidance only
