Background Info

As I learn more and more about penetration-testing, I try and take as many notes as possible. I write down one liners, techniques, and tools that can help me accomplish a given goal. If I encounter the same problem again some time in the future, I am able to just open my book and find the solution.

I though it would be useful to the greater information security community if I digitized and shared my notes. I have started writing down and digitizing my notes using Obsidian. Obsidian is a free note taking application that allows me to use Markdown and in line LaTex to take notes. This is super useful because Markdown is also how GitHub pages and GitBooks are formatted. To sweeten the deal even more, a plugin called Obsidian Git makes it possible to directly sync your notes to a private or public GitHub repository. Though this would already be possible just by using Git, Obsidian Git allows me to stage, commit, push, and pull directly from my note taking app.

I was then able to sync my GitHub repo to a Git Book, and now my pen testing notes can be accessed from anywhere in the world in real time.

As previously stated, This is a digitized version of my CTF notes. That means they might not be 100% accurate, reputable, or repeatable. This is a live snapshot of my notes in time. I do not vouch for the safety or results of any of these tools. Use at your own risk.
