hacking: security in practice
Post with careYou can post, but there are rules to clear first.
Can you post your project here?
Posts that are professional promotion from security firms or pen testing companies are allowed if they follow site-wide self-promotion rules. Other types of self-promotion or sharing a personal project are not explicitly mentioned and might be treated as spam or low-effort content depending on educational value and moderator discretion.
Before you post: Professional promotion allowed if it adheres to site-wide self-promotion rules. Posts must have educational value and avoid being low-effort or spam.
The rules, in their words
- Keep it legal: Hacking can be a grey area but keep it above board. Discussion around the legality of issues is ok, encouraging or aiding illegal activities is not
- We are not your personal army: This is not the place to try to find hackers to do your dirty work and you will be banned for trying. This includes: * Asking someone to hack for you * Trying to hire hackers * Asking for help with your DoS * Asking how to get into your "girlfriend's" instagram Offering to do these things will also result in a ban
- No "How do I start hacking?" posts: See /r/howtohack or the stickied post. Intermediate questions are welcomed - e.g. "How does HSTS prevent SSL stripping?" is a good question. "How do I hack wifi with Kali?" is bad.
- No "I got hacked" posts: No "I got hacked" posts unless it's an interesting post-mortem of a unique attack. Your nan being phished doesn't count.
- Sharing of personal data is forbidden: Sharing of personal data is forbidden - no doxxing or IP dumping
- No spam: Spam is strictly forbidden and will result in a ban. Professional promotion e.g. from security firms/pen testing companies is allowed within the confines of site-wide rules on self promotion found here, but will otherwise be considered spam.
- No off-topic posts: Off-topic posts will be treated as spam.
- No low-effort posts: Low-effort content will be removed at moderator discretion. This includes memes and jokes as they are not considered good content. Furthermore, posts without any "educational" value are removed. For example just showing a picture of a reverse shell in system x by itself will be removed, however if the author in the comments or in the post describes their method of exploitation it will be allowed. However, this rule is flexible and it be enforced according to the moderators discretion.
- We are not tech support: We are not tech support, these posts should be kept on /r/techsupport
- Don't be a dick: Don't be a dick. Play nice, support each other and encourage learning.
