In plain English

This repository is a collection of cybersecurity mind maps published by Hacking Articles. Mind maps are visual diagrams that show how concepts connect to each other in a branching tree structure, and this project uses that format to map out the relationships between tools, techniques, and domains across the cybersecurity field. The maps cover a wide range of topics including penetration testing methodologies, red teaming techniques, common security tools, certifications, and training courses. The goal is to give learners and working security professionals a quick visual overview of how different pieces of the field relate, rather than requiring them to read through lengthy documentation to understand the landscape. For someone new to cybersecurity, a mind map that shows how network scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation phases connect can clarify the overall workflow at a glance. The repository is maintained by the Hacking Articles team, who also run a popular blog covering practical security tutorials. The README links to their Telegram channel, Twitter, Discord, and LinkedIn so followers can stay updated when new maps are added. They also advertise a hands-on training program covering penetration testing and red teaming. The README itself is brief, and most of the content lives in the image files stored in the repository rather than in written documentation. If you are looking to study cybersecurity concepts or build a mental model of how different tools and techniques relate to each other, the diagrams here serve as a quick reference. The repository does not include interactive tools or code, only the static mind map images.
