10 Common Hacking Techniques

A collection of awesome penetration testing resources

Online Resources

Penetration Testing Resources

  • Metasploit Unleashed - Free Offensive Security Metasploit course
  • PTES - Penetration Testing Execution Standard
  • OWASP - Open Web Application Security Project
  • PENTEST-WIKI - A free online security knowledge library for pentesters / researchers.
  • Vulnerability Assessment Framework - Penetration Testing Framework.
  • The Pentesters Framework - PTF attempts to install all of your penetration testing tools (latest and greatest), compile them, build them, and make it so that you can install/update your distribution on any machine. Everything is organized in a fashion that is cohesive to the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and eliminates a lot of things that are hardly used.
