Here is a repository of my ethical hacking and pentesting practice. This repository is structured notes and observations from web applications, APIs, infrastructure, and security testing processes. The aim is not to provide ready-made exploits or copy-pasted techniques but to record how I think about security testing and to bring about attack surfaces in particular.
The following repository is an entire penetration testing lifecycle:
- Detection and mapping of attack surfaces.
- Web and API access control tests.
- Logic bugs and state vulnerabilities.
- Server-specific trust boundary problems with SSRF, file handling.
- Client rendering and context errors (XSS).
- Manual testing is used with Burp Suite.
- Network and service enumeration.
- Scoping, prioritization, and reporting processes.
And the focus is on reasoning, context, and decision-making and not just tooling or payloads.
The content is presented by the way I think during a test, not by tools or by vulnerability taxonomies.
-
methodology/
Mental models and high-level testing approach. -
recon/ Discovery, enumeration, and attack surface expansion.
-
burp/
Using Burp Suite as an analysis and reasoning tool. -
vulnerabilities/
The reason systems fail (logic, trust, context). -
infrastructure/
All the enumeration at the network, service, and protocol level. -
process/ Scoping, prioritizing, limiting the decisions for use of one’s own resources to meet some common constraints.
-
reporting/
Reporting clear and effective security findings.
External Resources. This repository is not re-hosting third-party tools, exploits, or payload collections. Conceptual references about well-known community resources may be suggested when appropriate e.g.
- SecLists.
- PayloadsAllTheThings.
- LinEnum.
- linux-exploit-suggester. None of the external resources are being used as substitutes for understanding.
The content contained in this repository will only be for educational purposes and ethical security testing.
