rmusser01/infosec_reference

Infosec_Reference is a large, openly maintained collection of links and notes covering a broad range of information security topics. The author describes it as something like a Yellow Pages for security knowledge: a place to look up that you know a thing exists but cannot remember its name. It is not a tutorial series or a course, but a pointer collection meant to help you find the right resource for any area of security you want to explore or revisit. The table of contents spans dozens of categories. On the offensive side, it covers exploit development, phishing, network attacks, password cracking, web application hacking, Active Directory attacks, malware analysis, and car hacking, among others. On the defensive side, there are sections on forensics and incident response, logging and threat hunting, honeypots, and documentation and reporting. There are also sections for career advice, conference recordings, cheat sheets, courses and training, CTF competitions, and OSINT (open source intelligence gathering). The project is hosted as Markdown files on GitHub, with a rendered HTML version available at rmusser.net/docs. The git history is the most reliable way to see what has been added recently. Contributions are welcome: if you know of a relevant link that is not already covered, a pull request is the way to submit it. The author asks that if the resource has been useful to you, consider donating to Doctors Without Borders or Amnesty International rather than to the project itself. The README opens with a political note from the maintainer regarding US surveillance law that he felt strongly enough about to include. This does not affect the reference content, which remains a general security resource.
