This repository contains a collection of tools that I have made or modified for penetration testing purposes. While existing frameworks like Metasploit and Burp Suite offer extensive capabilities, these lightweight, standalone scripts provide focused solutions for specific scenarios where simplicity, customization, and minimal dependencies are preferred.
One of my goals with this repository is to learn and improve my understanding and skills in penetration testing while creating useful tools.
