About the SecWiki reading list

Updated Nov 2026

The SecWiki reading list is a short, curated guide to security writing. It groups reading suggestions by subject, such as web security, reverse engineering, CTFs and defence, so that a newcomer can find a sensible place to begin.

What it was and what it is now

The original SecWiki was an open link-sharing board. Readers could post articles and tools they had come across and discuss them. That model has ended. The board no longer accepts submissions, and registration and login have been switched off, so there are no accounts to create or recover.

What remains is an editorial page. Entries are chosen by the archive's maintainer, written up in fresh wording and revised when something changes. The aim is quality and accuracy rather than volume, so updates arrive slowly.

Suggestions and corrections

The reading list is closed to submissions and accounts, and it does not take suggestions or corrections by message. Entries are reviewed and updated by the editors from time to time.

Anything involving an unpatched or undisclosed vulnerability should be reported to the affected vendor through responsible disclosure, as described on the contributing page.
