⚠ !important

We ask for 30 days of exclusivity on our Research Page, just so we can flex on the pod that these techniques dropped here first. So upload it to a Drive and send us the link to it using the form below, do not host it on your blog/medium/anywhere easily reachable.

We used to ask for perpetual exclusivity, but your personal site/blog shouldn't be held back. So for the first 30 days, don't post it anywhere else. After that, feel free to publish it on your own pages too!

We have some incredible hackers on the Research Team already.
If you think you'd like to join them — let's go.
