Philosophy

We think that everybody must have a free access to every information. Hacking must not be a privilege. In this world where Internet growth with giant strides, everybody should be able to learn and to understand computer security. We offer you a free platform to allow you to train. It is therefore natural to ask some ethical questions. We consider hacking and its technique as a tool. It can be used beneficially (White-Hat) or harmfully and destructive (Black-Hat). We want to promote it as a weapon for social fight. Hacking is justified for fighting against oppression, inequality and censorship. Even if we don’t encourage illegal IT acts, we want to promote and show you a positive alternative to the Black-Hat hacking. Join our community!
