## What it is
A community-maintained cheat sheet of Kali Linux commands and techniques for penetration testers, covering recon, enumeration, password cracking, and exploit compilation. It is a reference document rather than executable software.

## Use cases
- look up nmap commands for network scanning
- learn how to enumerate SMB and SNMP services
- find hydra brute forcing command syntax
- reference john the ripper and hashcat usage
- compile exploits for windows and linux targets
- quick reference for dns zone transfers and recon

## When to choose
- you need quick command references while doing a pentest on Kali Linux
- you are learning penetration testing workflows and tool usage

## When to avoid
- you need an actual tool or automation rather than documentation
- you need a maintained, versioned security product with a license

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security, osint, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: penetration-testing, security, tutorials
- platform: cli
- tags: kali-linux, cheatsheet, pentesting, reference-guide, hacking, command-line, linux
