A curated collection of resources gathered over the years: tools, references, methodologies, and useful links spanning pentesting, privacy, hardware hacking, and more.

Gadget Lab — Running catalog of hacking and cybersecurity gadgets. My goal here is to compile as complete a list as possible of the hacking hardware devices.
