## What it is
The Hacker Recipes is a free and open-source collection of technical guides on hacking topics, with a focus on Active Directory and web services attacks. The repository hosts the Markdown source files for the thehacker.recipes documentation site.

## Use cases
- learn active directory attack techniques
- study web exploitation methods for pentesting
- prepare for red team engagements or CTFs
- find tested explanations of hacking techniques beyond cheatsheets
- contribute to or self-host a hacking knowledge base

## When to choose
- you want in-depth, verified explanations of offensive security techniques rather than quick cheatsheets
- you need reference material for Active Directory or web service attacks
- you are preparing for pentesting, red teaming, or CTF work

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than documentation
- you want a quick cheatsheet with commands only
- you need guaranteed complete or error-free coverage of all hacking topics

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, tutorials, documentation
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: hacking-guides, active-directory, red-team, pentesting, mkdocs, knowledge-base, ctf, web-server
