## Overview

Awesome Penetration Testing is a curated, Markdown-based directory of offensive-security resources, not an executable testing platform. A reader starts at the README contents, browses a subject area, and follows its listed resource links; the README documents this catalog structure but does not describe automated interactions among the listed tools. The groups below organize its major documented subject areas. Only the README is present in the supplied tree, so the graph represents documented catalog navigation rather than unsampled implementation details.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/kpoeyer/awesome-pentest/blob/master/README.md) (Resource Catalog)
