Terms of Conduct

Last updated: July 2026

1. Who this applies to

These guidelines apply to everyone in the AquilaCyber community — the WhatsApp community, the HIT program, GitHub repositories, events, and any other AquilaCyber space.

2. What we expect from you

  • Be respectful — disagreement is fine, disrespect isn't
  • Help beginners instead of gatekeeping
  • Give credit for others' work and write-ups
  • Only test skills against systems and labs you're explicitly authorized to test — never against real third-party systems

3. Not okay, ever

  • Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind
  • Using skills learned here for unauthorized access, fraud, or any illegal activity
  • Cheating on CTFs or challenges (sharing flags, etc.)
  • Spam, self-promotion unrelated to cybersecurity, or scams
  • Sharing others' personal information without consent

4. Reporting a problem

If someone breaks these guidelines, or you experience or witness anything that makes a space feel unsafe, report it to aquilacyber@gmail.com.

5. Consequences

Depending on severity, violations can lead to a warning, temporary removal, or a permanent ban from AquilaCyber spaces and programs.
