## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, developer-tools, cli, documentation
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: cheatsheets, infosec, penetration-testing, kali-linux, ctf, cheat-tool, reference, command-line, linux
