K8tools is a large, curated GitHub repository collecting dozens (hundreds) of security- and exploitation-oriented utilities, proof-of-concepts, and payloads aimed at penetration testing, privilege escalation, and vulnerability exploitation. The project bundles exploits for many well-known CVEs, remote get-shell scripts, local privilege-escalation helpers, credential-harvesting utilities, scanning and brute-force tools, and a variety of platform-specific binaries and archives organized into folders for quick browsing. The README and repository metadata present it as an “all-in-one” toolkit for offensive security tasks, with many archived executables, exploit payloads, and helper scripts (including PowerShell and Python examples) that target services such as WebLogic, Tomcat, Zimbra, Struts2, Zabbix and others. ...

Pester is the de-facto unit testing and mocking framework for PowerShell, widely used to validate scripts, modules, and automation workflows. It provides a readable DSL for writing Describe/Context/It style specs, expressive assertion helpers (Should), and facilities for setup/teardown to keep tests isolated and reproducible. Beyond unit tests, Pester supports integration tests and can mock functions and modules so external side effects (network, registry, file system) are faked during runs. ...

This repository collects practical, real-world examples of using Ansible to automate infrastructure, deployments, and configurations. Each directory demonstrates a specific use case—ranging from setting up web servers, load balancers, and databases to orchestrating multi-tier applications in cloud environments. The examples highlight common Ansible practices such as organizing inventories, writing reusable playbooks, using roles, and handling variables and templates. They’re designed to be...

PowerShellForGitHub is a PowerShell module that wraps the GitHub API, allowing administrators and developers to script common GitHub operations directly from the shell. It provides cmdlets for repository management, issue and pull request automation, organization and team administration, and policy tasks such as branch protection or collaborator invites. The module handles authentication flows, pagination, and rate-limit concerns transparently so scripts can focus on business logic like triage, bulk updates, or migration tasks. ...
