MilestonesYear in review: 2023 on Pentest-Tools.com
What you're about to see is a blend of worn-out keyboards, stubborn research, gallons of coffee, and a dash of frustration, all catalyzed by listening closely to what you, our customers, really want.

We think we know podcastWe think we know how to explain the value of a penetration test
Welcome to We think we know, the podcast in which we flip the script on what you thought you knew about penetration testing.

Community wisdomHow these offensive security books changed their readers - and their authors
Books have extraordinary power. They give both readers and authors new perspectives on how to see the world – and how to inhabit it more meaningfully. They allow you to go in-depth on a topic you love (or didn’t know you could love).
