A curated collection of penetration testing study notes, cheat sheets, and useful scripts gathered from across the internet. It covers topics like buffer overflows, enumeration, exploitation, and OSINT with accompanying tooling and proof-of-concept code.

Use cases

• study for penetration testing certifications like OSCP
• find buffer overflow exploitation notes and scripts
• look up enumeration and reconnaissance techniques
• reference cheat sheets during a pentest engagement
• find ready-made scripts for privilege escalation and file transfers
• learn OSINT and information gathering workflows

When to choose

• you are learning penetration testing and want structured study notes
• you need quick reference cheat sheets while practicing on labs like HackTheBox or OSCP
• you want a grab-bag of community pentest scripts and bookmarks in one place

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, production-grade security scanning tool
• you want a polished framework like Metasploit rather than loose notes and scripts
• you require guaranteed up-to-date content, as the last release was in 2023
