Who's behind it

Not a command dump. A way of thinking — the attacker's.

The Adversary's Mind is a small, independent shop making offensive-security field manuals for people who'd rather understand a system than memorize a tool. The same operator's mindset runs through everything here — the classic recon-to-red-team manual, the AI red-teaming line, and the tools that let you prove your own systems hold up. Everything is written for systems you own or are explicitly authorized in writing to test.
