[I'm not the target audience--don't work in security.]

To me 'largest' is the antithesis of 'curated'. What is the curation aspect to this collection? Are there comparisons between tools, rankings, etc? If it's just a popular misuse of 'curated' that's fine too, like 'literally' in sportscasting.

Thanks for the comment/feedback. Submitted tools undergo the review and are manually added to ensure high quality and reduce spam. Currently on the tool page you can see alternatives to each tool, but ranking and comparison is the next step.
That was my impression too. Better to have 500 highly enriched items with facets or tags to aid exploration and discovery.

There are more than a few Commercial tools flagged as Free, unless it means “free tier available” and not FOSS.

A tool usually fits into more than one category, so a 1:1 mapping increases the probability of not finding those tools.

It is possible there are many curated directories for cyber security tools. And this one claims the largest one.
