## What it is
Micro8 is a free, open-source GitBook series of penetration testing lessons written by a veteran Chinese security practitioner, covering code auditing, web penetration, intranet and domain penetration, tunneling, and log forensics. It is aimed at junior and intermediate security professionals, red-team testers, and security enthusiasts, and stopped updating in March 2019.

## Use cases
- learn penetration testing from basics
- study intranet and domain penetration techniques
- understand tunneling and log forensics
- prepare for red team or APT simulation engagements
- self-study security fundamentals as a beginner
- reference code auditing and web attack notes

## When to choose
- you want a free, structured Chinese-language curriculum for offensive security fundamentals
- you are a junior or intermediate security practitioner building pentest knowledge
- you need background reading on intranet, domain, and web penetration before hands-on practice

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date techniques, as the series stopped updating in 2019
- you require a legally vetted, hands-on lab environment rather than written lessons
- you need English-language material or official vendor certification content

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: penetration-testing, documentation
- domain: security, penetration-testing, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: gitbook, offensive-security, apt-simulation, chinese-language, course-series
