## What it is
A collection of code snippets and boilerplate tools for Offensive Security's PEN-300 (OSEP) course, covering Windows privilege escalation, lateral movement, shellcode loaders, and AV evasion techniques. Snippets are written mainly in C# with some Python and C utilities, and are intended as educational reference material for penetration testers.

## Use cases
- study for the OSEP / PEN-300 exam
- find shellcode loader and process injection examples
- learn Windows privilege escalation techniques like PrintSpoofer and AlwaysInstallElevated
- get boilerplate for LSASS minidumping and lateral movement
- encode or obfuscate shellcode payloads with XOR or ROT
- reference reflective loading of C# payloads in PowerShell

## When to choose
- you are preparing for the OSEP certification or studying offensive Windows techniques
- you need reference implementations of common red-team tradecraft in C#
- you want educational examples of process injection and evasion

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready, maintained security tooling with a license and support
- you are looking for defensive security or blue-team tooling
- you need a polished application rather than raw course snippets

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing, boilerplate, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli
- tags: red-team, osep, pen-300, shellcode, offensive-security, csharp, code-snippets, evasion
