Hacker Roadmap

Hacker Roadmap is an archived learning repository that organizes tools, references, and concepts for practicing ethical hacking and penetration testing. It introduces basic security vocabulary, the difference between hacking and ethical hacking, and the general steps of a penetration test. The guide groups resources by categories such as information gathering, password attacks, wireless testing, exploitation tools, sniffing and spoofing, web hacking, post-exploitation, and frameworks. It emphasizes that learners should practice only in legal environments, read before using tools, and avoid unauthorized targets. Most of the listed tools are free, open source, and UNIX-compatible, but the repository is no longer maintained and may contain outdated material. It is best used as a historical roadmap or starting checklist rather than a fully current security curriculum.
