⚖️ The Rules

Ethical Rules You Must Follow

✍️

Written Permission First

Never test any system you do not own without a signed agreement. Verbal permission is not enough.

🎯

Stay in Scope

If you are hired to test one website, do not touch the company's other servers.

🤲

Do No Harm

Never delete data, crash systems, or access private user information beyond what the test requires.

📢

Report, Don't Exploit

When you find a weakness, document it and report it — never use it for personal gain.

🧪

Practice Legally

Use your own lab, HackTheBox, TryHackMe, or bug bounty programs that explicitly invite testing.
