# OffSec RedTeam Codes

**Token count:** ~30B tokens.

**OffSec RedTeam Codes** is a curated corpus of code (and some auxiliary text) extracted from popular GitHub repositories related to offensive security / red teaming (pentesting, OSINT, C2, privilege escalation, exploitation, forensics, etc.). It is also the largest open-source dataset of red-team and offensive-security code ever compiled.

> ⚠️ **Ethical use only.** This dataset is for research, education, and defensive security testing in lawful environments with proper authorization. Do **not** use it to harm systems, violate terms of service, or break the law.

---

## What’s new (Nov 2025)

* **Parquet per‑topic configs** are now published for fast loading with `datasets.load_dataset(...)`.
* **`raw/` folder** added: original JSON/JSONL/NDJSON sources moved under `raw/` (e.g. `raw/github_topic_code-<topic>.jsonl`).
* All Parquet splits include a constant **`topic`** column.
* Shards are sized at **≈256–512 MB** to balance memory, upload speed, and downstream streaming.

---

## Repository layout

```
/               # root
  README.md     # this card
  raw/          # original source JSON/JSONL/NDJSON (one file per topic)
  <topic>/      # per-topic Parquet config folder produced by HF Datasets
    train-0000X-of-00N.parquet
```

---

## Schema

All examples share the same columns (Parquet + raw JSON):

* **content** *(string)* — full file text (notebook outputs stripped; `execution_count` cleared)
* **repo_name** *(string)* — `owner/name`
* **repo_id** *(int)* — GitHub repo id
* **path** *(string)* — file path in repo
* **branch** *(string)* — default branch at fetch time
* **license** *(string|null)* — SPDX id or GitHub license key
* **lang** *(string)* — approx language/extension
* **stargazers** *(int)* — star snapshot
* **pushed_at** *(string, ISO‑8601)* — last push timestamp
* **topics_matched** *(list[string])* — discovery topics that matched this repo
* **size** *(int)* — character length of `content`
* **topic** *(string)* — added during build, equals the topic/config name

---

## Load the Parquet configs (recommended)

### Single topic

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Loads Parquet for the selected topic (config name)
ds = load_dataset(
    "tandevllc/offsec_redteam_codes",
    name="pentesting",    # pick any topic listed above
    split="train",
)
print(len(ds), ds.column_names)
```

### Multiple topics (interleaved)

```python
from datasets import load_dataset, interleave_datasets

names = ["osint", "pentesting", "reverse-engineering"]
parts = [load_dataset("tandevllc/offsec_redteam_codes", name=n, split="train") for n in names]

# Optionally balance by size:
probs = [1/len(parts)]*len(parts)
ds = interleave_datasets(parts, probabilities=probs, seed=42)
```

### Filter by language or license

```python
py = ds.filter(lambda r: r.get("lang") == "py")
permissive = ds.filter(lambda r: (r.get("license") or "").lower() in {"mit","apache-2.0","bsd-3-clause"})
```

---

## Load the **raw** JSON/JSONL sources (optional)

If you prefer the original line-delimited JSON:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

raw = load_dataset(
    "json",
    data_files="raw/github_topic_code-pentesting.jsonl",
    split="train",
    repo_id="tandevllc/offsec_redteam_codes",
)
```

---

## Content selection and filtering

* **File types:** code-like extensions only (`py`, `pyw`, `pyi`, `js`, `mjs`, `cjs`, `ts`, `tsx`, `jsx`, `java`, `kt`, `kts`, `groovy`, `scala`, `c`, `h`, `cpp`, `cc`, `cxx`, `hpp`, `hh`, `hxx`, `ino`, `rs`, `go`, `rb`, `php`, `phtml`, `cs`, `fs`, `vb`, `swift`, `m`, `mm`, `sh`, `bash`, `zsh`, `ksh`, `fish`, `ps1`, `psd1`, `psm1`, `sql`, `pl`, `pm`, `r`, `jl`, `lua`, `dart`, `zig`, `nim`, `yaml`, `yml`, `toml`, `ini`, `cfg`, `conf`, `env`, `properties`, `gradle`, `cmake`, `make`, `mk`, `mkfile`, `json`, `ipynb`).
* **Excluded paths**: build outputs, vendored folders, caches, VCS dirs, virtualenvs
* **Binaries/archives/media**: filtered by extension + text heuristics
* **Large files**: default cap ≈2 MB (configurable)
* **Minified blobs**: excluded by average line-length heuristics
* **Secrets**: basic regex heuristics (keys, private certs) excluded where detected

---

## Intended uses

* Pretraining / continued pretraining of **code LMs** in the security domain
* **RAG / retrieval** with metadata filters (language, topics, license, stars)
* **Code search** / similarity tasks
* Curriculum sampling by `lang`, `stargazers`, `topic`, or recency (`pushed_at`)

> This dataset is **not** an instruction set for unauthorized intrusion. Use defensively and ethically.

---

## Limitations & caveats

* **Licenses vary per file.** The compilation license does **not** replace upstream licenses.
* **Heuristics** can omit useful files or miss some undesirable ones.
* **Time-varying metadata** (stars, topics, default branch) reflect the crawl moment.

## License & Access

**License:** "TanDev Proprietary License — All Rights Reserved"

**Upstream Licenses:** Each record includes `source_repo` and `source_license`. Rights in the original repositories remain with their owners. This compilation license does not limit rights you already have in the upstream sources.

If you are a repository author and would like your content removed, please open an issue or contact the maintainer.
