GTFOBins / LOLBins
What it’s for
Reference lists of trusted binaries that can be abused — GTFOBins for Unix, LOLBAS for Windows. The heart of living off the land.
Where it shines
- Invaluable for privilege escalation and evasion without dropping tools
- Uses what’s already on the box
Where it falls down
- A reference, not a scanner — you still have to spot the opportunity
- Highly context-dependent
My take
[EDIT ME: your one-line verdict — day-one essential, learn later, or overhyped, in your own words.]
