🔒 Permission & Boundaries

1. I test only what I own or have explicit permission to test.

No exceptions. No grey areas. If I can't prove I had permission, I don't touch it.

🛡️ Privacy & Data Protection

2. I respect privacy. Always.

Data I stumble on, I do not save. Credentials I discover, I do not use. Mistakes I find, I report responsibly.

⚔️ Malware & Harmful Code

3. I never build, run, or distribute malware.

No droppers, no beacons, no sketchy GitHub scripts that pretend to be educational but scream felony.

🧪 Safe Experimentation

4. I isolate experimentation from my personal life.

My testing environments are clean, compartmentalized, and contain nothing I can't afford to lose.

📝 Documentation

5. I document everything.

If I didn't write it down, I didn't learn it. If I can't explain it, I don't understand it.

🌐 Community Contribution

6. I contribute to a safer, smarter tech ecosystem.

I don't just break things—I want to understand, explain, and help fix them.

🎯 Accountability

7. I am accountable.

I own my mistakes. I ask before I act. I seek mentorship, not medals.
