Awesome Infosec is a curated list of information security courses and training resources.
The project addresses the challenge of discovering quality educational material in cybersecurity by organizing vetted courses, laboratories, and practical training resources into a structured reference. It brings together offerings from academic institutions and specialized security training platforms, spanning topics from foundational computer security and cryptography to hands-on penetration testing and capture-the-flag competitions. The curation approach filters resources suitable for cybersecurity professionals and educational use in controlled environments.
Someone considering this resource should recognize it as a starting point for finding structured learning paths rather than a comprehensive catalog of every security course available. It suits professionals seeking university-level instruction in cryptographic theory, secure system design, and usable security, as well as practitioners looking for laboratory environments and practical challenges. The list includes massive open online courses, academic offerings, capture-the-flag platforms, open security books, and documentation resources, making it useful for learners at different stages of their security career.
The project's development activity is characterized by a focus on enhancement work, indicating ongoing efforts to expand and improve the resource collection rather than addressing bugs or maintenance issues.
