Codex

Command-first cheatsheets for pentesting, CTFs, and security exams.

The Codex is a curated field reference for offensive security, built for use during pentests, CTFs, and certification exams like OSCP and HTB. Every page is OS-agnostic and command-first: technique, payload, success indicator. No theory you don’t need.

It is maintained by the Athena OS project and published under CC-BY-SA 4.0.
