Neither — it's one big README: a curated link list where every entry is a resource name with a short one-line description, grouped into themed sections.So there's nothing to install — how do I find my way around the list?Just browse: the Table of Contents links straight to sections like Privilege Escalation, Malware Analysis, OSINT or AI Red Teaming, and each section is a table you scan and click through.
