Responsible Use Policy

Kinoco Hacker exists for defensive education. Use the techniques taught here only inside challenge environments, systems you own, or systems for which you have explicit written authorization.

Prohibited activity

• Accessing, scanning, or testing a system, account, or network without permission.
• Collecting, changing, destroying, or publishing another person’s data.
• Distributing malware, credentials, or instructions intended to cause harm.
• Disrupting services, bypassing challenge isolation, or attacking external targets from an exercise.
• Violating applicable law, contracts, or the rights of another person.

Reporting a vulnerability

Stop after the minimum confirmation needed to describe the issue. Do not access unrelated data or publish details before the owner can respond. Use the target’s official private reporting channel.

When permission is unclear

Do not proceed. A public address, visible login form, or technically reachable service is not authorization.
