_CODE OF ETHICS

Back home
1. RESEARCH
The cyberspace has became a vital system enshrined in everyday's life. There is a lot at stake, not just billions of money, but lives and safety for many humans. We do not put live-systems at risk, neither by "testing" our attacks against them nor by disclosing responsibility irresponsibly.

We aim for the best judgement and highest standards in our work sothat our human peers don't waste tiem due to relying on our misinterpretations.

Since we would like more people to engage and validate our ideas / results, we aim to make our work as accessible as possible, both in terms of licensing and readibility

Hardening the cyberspace stays our goal

2. Services
The following code of ethics drive us in consulting and we will refine it along the way, drawing lessons, from our experiences on the ground.

First and foremost, we care about courteous and honest work relationships weawed across the years. Each of us strives for a humble, open-minded, and self-questioning attitude and hopes for the same from your side.

We may make mistakes. Working in a fast-paced, high-bandwidth environment means acting sometimes with limited rationality. If the negligence is qualified on our side, we will take care to cure the damage. In any case, we will produce a private post-mortem for us to all to grow from it.

We favor written words enclosed in good frameworks over floating promises. Defining the problems we are going to work on well is already half of the success. If the job turns out too complex for us, we will notify you and relinquish our fees. We may know emergencies we have to deal with. If this happens, we will inform you about the delay as soon as we can.

As we are quite engaged in open-source development and security research, we are keeping our areas of activities as isolated as we can. We won't sell our image, do promotion of your product or project, and we won't trade access to our friends. By default, we require keeping our collaboration private, and we ask you to do the same on our side.

We deeply care about the confidentiality of your business data and we will process it with the same diligence we do for our data. As a matter of principle, don't tell us more than you have to. Always feel free to use a pseudonym to reach out.

We're striving to hold you the same discourse in the very same way that if we were explaining you concepts or code on a whiteboard in-person. We will never use online communication medium as an excuse to mislead you, and we'll do our best effort do not even let the risk of such apparence.

Indifferently of our research or commercial services activities, we're sensitive to our own conflict of interests, be it moral or financial. We're maintaining self-awareness about them the best we can. If during the courses of our activities, especially for commercial services, we hit a conflict of interest, we will notify you and relinquish our fees. In all other situations, we'll do our best to find a remedy.
