Community rules

1. Be respectful. No insults, harassment or discrimination. Disagree with the idea, not the person.
2. Only hack what you're allowed to. Practise on CTFs, labs and systems you own or have written permission to test. We don't help with attacks on real people, businesses or accounts.
3. No malware, stolen data or leaked credentials. Don't share them, ask for them or sell them.
4. Stay on topic. Cybersecurity, AI, tech careers and community updates. No unrelated chat.
5. No spam or self-promotion. No ads, referral links or job offers unless an admin has approved them.
6. Ask good questions. Say what you tried, what happened and what you expected. Nobody is judged for being a beginner.
7. Respect CTF spoilers. During a CTF, don't share flags or full solutions until the admins announce that the event has ended.
8. Protect your privacy. Don't share phone numbers, addresses, ID documents or passwords, yours or anyone else's.
9. Report, don't retaliate. If something breaks these rules, message a moderator privately.

If rules are broken: first a private warning, then a temporary mute, then removal. Serious breaches (rules 2 and 3) mean immediate removal.
