## What it is
A curated collection of tips and techniques for CTF binary exploitation (pwn) challenges, covering buffer overflows, libc offsets, leaks, and shell tricks. It is a reference document rather than executable software, and is no longer actively updated.

## Use cases
- learn ctf pwn exploitation techniques
- find buffer overflow tricks for scanf gets read strcpy
- look up how to find /bin/sh in libc
- learn one-gadget-rce usage
- prepare for capture the flag binary challenges
- understand stack leak techniques in gdb

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date exploitation techniques for modern mitigations
- you want runnable tooling rather than a written reference
- you need a general security learning resource beyond binary exploitation

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: cli
- tags: ctf, pwn, binary-exploitation, exploitation-tips, cheatsheet, memory-corruption, buffer-overflow, linux
