We chose this name because this should be the first place you head whenever anyone tells you to just RTFM (Read The F-ing Manual). ### Inspiration The main inspiration for TFM came from the outstanding [Hack Tricks](https://book.hacktricks.xyz). Many of the tips found in here likely came from there, any which did will have a citation and a link to the original. We highly encourage you to donate to that project if you found any of the referenced tips useful. ### Who is NullzSec? We are a community of IT professionals, software engineers, CTF players, and pretty much any other type of hacker you can think of. We sometimes compete in CTF's as a team, and on any given day you'll find many of us on sites like [HackTheBox](https://hackthebox.eu) and [TryHackMe](https://tryhackme.com). You can find us on our [discord server](https://discord.gg/HgrHtj6R). ## Contributing See [Contributing](https://github.com/nullzsecdev/TFM/tree/e36054df1899bcee35732a3353e17c4c007ce8ea/CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Code of Conduct If you plan on contributing or being involved with the project, or NullzSec in general, you must abide by the [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/nullzsecdev/TFM/tree/e36054df1899bcee35732a3353e17c4c007ce8ea/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://man.nullzsec.com/master.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
