A curated awesome-list of penetration testing tools, organized into categories such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, credential harvesting, web exploitation, and command & control frameworks. It primarily serves as an organized overview of the author's starred repositories, excluding default Kali tools.

Use cases

• find tools for windows privilege escalation during a pentest
• discover credential harvesting and lateral movement tools
• look up web application vulnerability scanners and burp plugins
• find payload generation and AV evasion tools
• browse curated offensive security tools by category
• find network attack and MITM exploitation tools

When to choose

• you need a categorized index of offensive security tools
• you are building a pentest toolkit and want curated recommendations beyond Kali defaults
• you want to discover niche tools for red team operations like pivoting, exfiltration, or NAC bypass

When to avoid

• you need a single runnable tool rather than a list of links
• you want maintained, vetted software with licenses and support
• you are looking for defensive security or blue team tooling
