Overview

Each engagement in Pwnbook includes a fully collaborative wiki. The wiki is where your team writes notes, documents findings, records methodology, and builds any free-form content that doesn’t fit neatly into a structured report. Wiki pages support rich markdown — headings, tables, code blocks, links, and more — giving you the flexibility to write exactly what you need.

​
Creating a wiki page

  1. Open an engagement and navigate to the Wiki tab.
  2. Click New Page.
  3. Enter a title for the page.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Start writing in the markdown editor.
Changes are saved automatically as you type.

​
Markdown support

Wiki pages support standard markdown syntax plus some extras:
ElementSyntax

Code (inline)`code`
Code block```language ```
Link[label](url)

Use code blocks with a language identifier (e.g., ```bash or ```python) for syntax highlighting in your documented exploit code or payloads.

​
Organizing pages

You can create multiple pages per engagement and organize them into a hierarchy:
  • Use descriptive titles that make the content scannable (e.g., “Methodology”, “Findings”, “IDOR in /api/users”, “Recon Notes”)
  • Nest pages under parent pages by dragging them in the page list
  • Pin important pages to the top of the wiki sidebar

​
Collaborative editing

Multiple team members can view and edit wiki pages simultaneously. Edits from other users appear in real time, so you can collaborate without worrying about overwriting each other’s work.

​
Sharing wiki pages externally

You can share individual wiki pages — or the entire engagement wiki — with external stakeholders (e.g., a client’s development team) using share links. Share links do not require a Pwnbook account to view.
  1. Open the wiki page you want to share.
  2. Click the Share button in the top toolbar.
  3. Choose whether to share this page only, or the full wiki.
  4. Set an expiry date (optional but recommended).
  5. Click Create Link.
  6. Copy the generated URL and send it to the recipient.
  1. Navigate to the Wiki tab.
  2. Click Share Links in the sidebar.
  3. View all active share links, their expiry dates, and view counts.
  4. Click Revoke next to any link to immediately invalidate it.
Share links provide read access to the shared content without authentication. Only share links with authorized recipients. Always set an expiry date for client-facing shares.

​
Exporting wiki content

You can export the full wiki as a ZIP archive of markdown files, or export individual pages as PDF or HTML for inclusion in deliverables. To export:
  1. Click the … menu in the Wiki tab.
  2. Select Export Wiki.
  3. Choose the format (Markdown ZIP, PDF).
  4. The download starts automatically.

​
Best practices

Write notes in the wiki throughout the engagement, not just at the end. Real-time documentation captures context that’s easy to forget later.
Standardize how you write findings: title, severity, description, impact, reproduction steps, and remediation. This makes it much easier to compile the final report.
Create a top-level page that acts as a table of contents for the engagement. Link to sub-pages for recon notes, findings, and methodology.
