Thomas over at De-ICE.net has launched a cool new project forming an open source community for pen testers called Hackerpedia. This is like all the many different types of wikipedias out there but this is hacker and pen test specific. The Hackerpedia project started from the De-ICE pen test LiveCD’s that Thomas created and the need for a documentation repository. Hackerpedia is (from De-ICE.net):
Centralized
Hackerpedia is an attempt to share knowledge in an easy-to-read format. Certainly, there is a lot of information gathered within various forums, but none of it is centralized.
Hacker-specific
While there are other wikipedias, Hackerpedia focuses on information from a hacker perspective. While others may have entries for Nepenthes, here you won’t find anything on plants.
All things to all people
Designed for beginner and expert alike, there is something for everyone.
I know I haven’t found anything quite like this out on the net and usually finding pen test related information can be a tedious experience. As with any new community, this needs lots of volunteers to get the word out and to get pen test and security professionals to contribute content to the wiki. I would love to see this take off and become a great resource for pen testers.
What can you do?
Please help spread the word about this resource by linking to the Hackerpedia and contributing content! Hopefully the community will quickly grow around this project.
