Infosec Reference is a curated knowledge base and resource repository for information security practitioners. It aggregates cheat sheets, tooling guides, protocol deep dives, incident response playbooks, and threat actor profiles—all organized under accessible categories (network, web, host, cryptography, auditing). The repo is built as a living wiki of sorts: practitioners contribute updates, expand sections, or refine explanations as the threat landscape evolves. Because security spans many domains, Infosec Reference helps consolidate high-value, battle-tested knowledge into one place, reducing the need to scour scattered blogs or notes. It often contains links to external references, example commands, common workflows, and template policies or checklists. For newer security professionals or teams looking to build a shared reference, it serves as a catalog of contextually verified insights, a starting point for training, or a hub for standardized practices.
