GTFOBins is a curated catalog of Unix / POSIX system binaries and how they can be misused to bypass restrictions, escalate privileges, exfiltrate data, spawn shells, or otherwise act as “living off the land” tools in a compromised environment. It collects documented techniques for how everyday binaries (e.g. awk, bash, tar, scp) can be abused under constrained conditions. Indexed list of Unix binaries and documented misuse techniques. Examples of command invocations to exploit misconfigurations. Scenarios for privilege escalation, file transfer, and process spawning. Community contributions to add or refine binary techniques.
