▐ A collection of awesome penetration testing and offensive cybersecurity resources.

Penetration testing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test) is the practice of launching authorized, simulated attacks against computer systems and their physical infrastructure to expose potential 
security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Should you discover a vulnerability, please follow this guidance (https://kb.cert.org/vuls/guidance/) to report it responsibly.

Your contributions and suggestions are heartily♥ welcome. (✿◕‿◕). Please check the Contributing Guidelines (CONTRIBUTING.md) for more details. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
