Build a learning path for offensive or defensive security skills by exploring curated repositories.
Find specialized tools and resources for penetration testing, bug bounty hunting, or security research.
Discover repositories on specific security topics like malware analysis, OSINT, reverse engineering, or Web3 security.
Awesome Hacking is a curated list of links, not a piece of software. The repository describes itself as a collection of awesome lists for hackers, pentesters, and security researchers, so it is essentially an index of other index repositories, each one focused on a different corner of computer security. There is no installation step, you just read it on GitHub and click through to whichever topic you want to learn about. The README is mostly a large table where every row points to a separate community-maintained list. The topics span a wide range, including Android security, application security, asset discovery, bug bounty programs, cellular and 5G security, CI/CD attacks, capture-the-flag competitions, free cybersecurity learning resources, detection engineering, DevSecOps, drone hacking, embedded and IoT security, fuzzing, honeypots, incident response, industrial control systems, malware analysis, OSINT or open-source intelligence, OSX and iOS security, password cracking, network packet capture tooling, penetration testing, prompt injection against AI and LLM systems, real-time communications and VoIP, red teaming, reverse engineering, social engineering, static analysis tools, threat intelligence, vehicle and car hacking, web and web3 application security, and YARA rules. A second table points to other useful repositories such as AI security resources, annual security reports, API security checklists, and write-ups of past attack campaigns. Someone would use this when they are starting out in security and want a map of where the deeper resources live, or when they are an experienced practitioner looking for a fresh list on a topic they have not worked in before.
