Ethical Hacking Policy
All security testing discussed, taught or performed in connection with Hacking.cv must be authorized in writing by the system owner, or carried out in intentionally vulnerable labs, CTF platforms or environments the tester owns.
Educational demonstrations on this site use simulated or purpose-built vulnerable targets only.
Responsible Disclosure Policy
Report vulnerabilities privately to security@hacking.cv. We acknowledge within two business days, agree a remediation timeline, and credit reporters who wish to be named. Good-faith research within our published rules will not be met with legal action from us.
Account Recovery Policy
Account recovery assistance is guidance only. We do not bypass passwords, break authentication, hack accounts, steal credentials, or access accounts without authorization. We help legitimate account owners follow official recovery and security procedures.
We may require reasonable evidence of ownership before providing case-specific guidance, and we never store authentication secrets in a case record.
