A curated roadmap and collection of hacking tools, resources, and references for learning ethical hacking and penetration testing. It organizes tools by category such as information gathering, password attacks, web hacking, and exploitation, and is now archived.

Use cases

• learn penetration testing from scratch
• find open source hacking tools by category
• build a study roadmap for ethical hacking
• find practice challenges for security skills
• discover wordlists and exploitation frameworks
• understand the basics of pen testing methodology

When to choose

• you are a beginner looking for a structured overview of pentesting topics and tools
• you want a curated list of UNIX-compatible open source security tools
• you need pointers to books, challenges, and additional learning resources

When to avoid

• you need up-to-date tool recommendations, since the project is archived and content may be outdated
