## What it is
COOK is a Go-based wordlist framework that generates, splits, merges, and finds wordlists, with support for permutations, combinations, and encoding/decoding methods. It ships with predefined ingredient sets (from SecLists, assetnote, fuzzdb, and more) and is aimed at security researchers, bug bounty hunters, and hackers.

## Use cases
- generate custom wordlists for fuzzing
- create password permutations and combinations for cracking
- merge and split large wordlists
- apply encodings and decodings to wordlist entries
- build directory brute-force lists for bug bounty recon
- combine wordlists from SecLists and assetnote into custom sets

## When to choose
- you need highly customizable wordlist generation with permutations and encodings
- you want a single CLI tool to manage, merge, and transform wordlists
- you do bug bounty or penetration testing and need tailored fuzzing lists

## When to avoid
- you just need a static, ready-made wordlist without customization
- you need a GUI-based wordlist tool
- your use case is unrelated to security testing or wordlist generation

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, data-generation, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli, go
