## What it is
HackTools is an all-in-one browser extension for offensive security professionals that bundles penetration testing tools like XSS payloads, reverse shells, and cheat sheets into a single popup. It eliminates the need to search multiple websites for payloads and references during web application penetration tests.

## Use cases
- quickly grab XSS payloads during a web pentest
- generate reverse shell one-liners without leaving the browser
- access msfvenom and metasploit command cheat sheets
- look up common payloads and cheatsheets during bug bounty hunting
- replace scattered local notes and bookmarked payload sites
- red team reference toolkit accessible in one click

## When to choose
- you do web application penetration testing and want payloads and cheat sheets one click away
- you want a HackBar-style extension with reverse shells, XSS payloads, and encoding tools
- you're a red teamer or bug bounty hunter who wants offline reference material in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need automated vulnerability scanning rather than manual reference tools
- you require a maintained, licensed product for compliance-sensitive environments (no license file is present)
- you need a full-featured web app rather than a browser extension, as the project is transitioning to a web application
