# What is Pentest List Wiki?

Pentest List Wiki has been developed to provide the community with up-to-date information on the tooling and methodologies used within offensive and defensive Cyber Security. &#x20;

Many blogs and wikis exist that present this information. However, the focus of Pentest List Wiki is to ensure that the information that we are providing, is the current 'best' way to perform something and shows how to use the best tool for the job, as determined by [pentestlist.com](https://pentestlist.com)

Pentest List Wiki does not claim ownership of any tools, methodology or research with regards to what is presented here and where possible, references to the relevant sources will be used. If we have missed a reference, do let us know and we will fix it immediately.
