About Awesome Hacking
Awesome Hacking is a GitHub repository that gathers links to other "awesome lists" aimed at hackers, pentesters and security researchers. Rather than hosting tools itself, it acts as an index: each entry points to a separate list covering a specific area of security work.
The indexed topics span offensive and defensive material, including Android security, application security, asset discovery, bug bounty programs and write-ups, cellular hacking, CI/CD attacks, CTFs, detection engineering, DevSecOps, embedded and IoT security, fuzzing, honeypots, incident response, industrial control system security, malware analysis, OSINT, password cracking, pentesting, reverse engineering, social engineering, static analysis, threat intelligence, vehicle security, Web3 security and YARA. Additional repositories such as AI Security are grouped separately, and an "Other Useful Repositories" section is included alongside the main table.
