100-Hacking-Tools: A Curated Toolkit for Ethical Hackers & Security Researchers 🛠️

As security researchers, ethical hackers, and sysadmins, we know how time-consuming it can be to hunt down the right tool for the job, especially when working across different phases of a pentest or audit. To help centralize essential open source security tools, I created 100-Hacking-Tools, a curated repository designed as a fast, single source of truth for security utilities. 🔍 What's Inside? The repository organizes top-tier open source tools into key operational categories: Reconnaissance & OSINT: Information gathering, domain enumeration, and target mapping. Web Vulnerability Auditing: Scanners, fuzzers, and proxy tools for testing web apps. Network Security & Sniffing: Packet analysis, network mapping, and traffic interception. Exploitation & Red Teaming: Frameworks and utilities for controlled security testing. Security Automation & Forensics: Scriptable tools for quick triage and log analysis. 🎯 Who Is This For? Penetration Testers & Red Teamers: Quick access to reliable tools during engagements. Bug Bounty Hunters: Streamlining discovery and reconnaissance workflows. CTF Players & Students: A structured reference for learning security concepts. DevSecOps Engineers: Finding automated testing tools to integrate into CI/CD pipelines. 🤝 Open for Contributions! Security tooling evolves fast. If you maintain or regularly use an open-source security utility that should be on this list, contributions are always welcome!
