Awesome Cybersecurity Handbooks

A huge chunk of my personal notes since I started playing CTFs and working as a red teamer. These are living documents and I updated or add to them relatively often.

Important

Please note that these documents are only provided for legal purposes. Please do not use the content for illigal actions.

If you like the project, give it a ⭐ or share it on various platforms. My goal is to create and to gather resources for people to help them on their career.

Note

As always, it is pretty hard to point out every source for different tools or payloads. If I used your payload anywhere in my notes and you wanted to be mentioned, feel free to reach out to me on X — or preferably Bluesky — and I will add you asap.

Thank you for reading.
