Community Guidelines

HackOps Community is a professional cybersecurity discussion space maintained by HackOps GITAM.

Respect the community

  • No harassment, hate speech, doxxing, personal attacks, or discrimination.
  • Disagree on technique, not on people.
  • Anonymity is preserved — only nicknames are visible publicly.

Stay on topic

  • This is a cybersecurity forum: writeups, research, tools, CTFs, doubts, career guidance.
  • Pick the most accurate category. Avoid "Other" when a category fits.

Ethical hacking only

  • No instructions targeting systems you do not own or have written permission to test.
  • No malware distribution, credential sharing, or operational scam playbooks.
  • Disclose responsibly. Educational deep-dives are welcome — operational abuse is not.

No spam, no abuse

  • Rate limits and AI moderation are enforced. Repeated rejections lower your trust score.
  • Images and file uploads are disabled by design. Use code blocks for snippets.

Moderation

  • All posts and replies pass through AI moderation. Suspicious items go to a human admin queue.
  • Admins may approve, edit, hide, or reject content. Decisions are final.
