How b-3llum/pentest-notes works
pentest-notes is an Obsidian knowledge vault for authorized penetration testing, not an executable application. Its principal workflow is the documented recon-to-post-exploitation loop, with loot feeding a new recon cycle. The graph preserves the README’s major specialist tracks and engagement references; because no source excerpts were supplied, links between individual notes and undocumented runtime behavior are omitted.
