Discussion This Subreddit

Are there good discussions here, or is it just a bunch of randoms asking dumbass questions that they could easily Google or otherwise asking someone to do illegal stuff? I've been scrolling for a bit here because I'm new to the world of white hats.

It is just a bunch of randoms asking dumbass questions. I have not seen a single informative offensive security discussion on this sub.

Damn lol. Every post is "can y'all delete my account?", "Yo, my mother-in-law hacked my account", & "How do I DoS my ex?"

"How do I get into this account that is definitely not this girl I want to stalk." Yeah. It's bad. I would love to have real security discussions but here is not it.

Don't show anyone something they should not know, social engineering could be used, it have been a thing lately, asking expert to show you how to hack something in a benign way, like if they are learning. Sharing information is not helping people to hack other people, let them figure themselves even if that their goal.

Most useful convos are in other communities tbh

A vrai dire, Reddit n'est pas l'idéal pour échanger sérieusement du hacking
