Acceptable use

This site exists to help people prepare for certifications honestly. That purpose sets a hard boundary, and this page states it plainly rather than burying it.

What we will not do

We do not publish, host, link to, or accept:

• Exam questions, answers, flags, proof files or scoring criteria
• Hostnames, IP addresses, usernames, credentials or service configurations from a live exam environment
• Attack paths or walkthroughs for machines in a live exam
• Any material covered by a certification NDA or candidate agreement
• Course material redistributed without the vendor's permission

This holds regardless of how a request is framed — for research, for a friend, for a page that would rank well. Requests for exam content get one reply pointing at this page.

Why the line sits there

These are proctored credentials, and people are hired into security roles on the strength of them. A certificate obtained by reading the answers puts someone in a job they cannot do, which is a problem for their employer, for whoever depends on that employer, and eventually for the value of the certificate you worked for. It also breaks the agreement every candidate signs.

The practical case is just as plain: the vendors pursue this, and candidates caught using leaked material lose the certification and are banned from re-sitting.

What write-ups may cover

• Retired Hack The Box machines, TryHackMe rooms, Proving Grounds Practice boxes, and other content the platform has published for study
• Labs you built yourself
• Techniques in the abstract, demonstrated on your own targets
• Your own exam experience — preparation, timing, what surprised you, how the report went — with no exam content in it

Using the site

Please do not:

• Scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other people
• Republish pages wholesale, with or without attribution
• Submit other people's work as your own
• Use the contact form for marketing

Reading, quoting with a link, and sharing pages are all fine and welcome.
