Isn't this just general unix-fu? What's pentesting specific here?

Yeah that was the general consensus when this was posted on Reddit, too.

protip: If you need this cheatsheet, you shouldn't be doing pentesting.

I dunno, I've never met someone that does pen-testing for a living that wasn't extremely good at their job.

I'm sure those people exist, but this article isn't proof of anything other than that someone can make a webpage and put some words on it.

Confused as to why this is titled for pen-testing. Where's /var/log/btmp and nmap?

So this is what pen-testers need to know when getting paid to pen-test foo. Do not trust anything that claims security because of being "extensively pen-tested".

I see so much overlap between these commands and what's available on Unix systems in general, such as macOS, it'd be nice to see which ones are available cross-platform, and which are Linux specific.

Also, it would be a bit more useful if this article actually explained how these would be useful for penetration testing.

Expected a bunch of nmap commands, got `echo 8.8.8.8`.
