HackDB Bot is a community-driven tool that lets Reddit users submit red teaming, penetration testing, and ethical hacking resources to HackDB, the ultimate directory for offensive security.
When a link is submitted through the bot, it is sent to HackDB as a pending submission under the hackdb_bot submitter account, then reviewed by the HackDB team before it can go live.
