A collection of cheatsheets for infosec tools and common UNIX programs, designed to be used with the 'cheat' command-line tool. It helps penetration testers, CTF participants, and security enthusiasts recall infrequently used commands.

Use cases

• look up nmap or ncat command flags during a penetration test
• quickly recall rarely used security tool commands during a CTF
• install a security cheatsheet pack for the cheat CLI
• reference Kali Linux tool usage from the terminal
• study common UNIX commands used in ethical hacking

When to choose

• you already use the cheat CLI and want security-focused sheets
• you need quick terminal-based reminders for pentest or CTF tooling
• you want a MIT-licensed, community-editable cheatsheet collection

When to avoid

• you need an actively updated reference for the latest tool versions
• you want a GUI or web-based documentation site
• you don't use the cheat tool and prefer standalone docs
