A free online knowledge library (wiki) of penetration testing and security resources, organized into sections like information gathering, vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and post-exploitation. It is a curated collection of markdown notes, links, and cheat sheets rather than runnable software.

Use cases

• learn penetration testing fundamentals
• find OSINT techniques for gathering information
• look up database hacking notes for MySQL or PostgreSQL
• reference Windows Active Directory attack walkthroughs
• study mobile and web application security assessment
• find security conference materials and cheat sheets

When to choose

• you want a curated reference of pentest techniques and notes
• you are learning offensive security and need structured reading material
• you need quick cheat-sheet style references during assessments

When to avoid

• you need an actual scanning or exploitation tool rather than documentation
• you need up-to-date coverage of the latest CVEs and techniques
• you want an interactive training platform or labs
