We seek to discuss vulnerability and exploitation theory and [evading] the countermeasures used to deter exploitation. This is also a place to discuss general blackhat rules, etiquette and culture. We welcome:

Writeups (not CTF or HTB)/talks detailing new vulnerabilities or techniques (there should be enough information to reproduce the exploit/technique)
Proof of concepts of old vulnerabilities or techniques
Projects
Hypothetical questions

Rules:

Be excellent to each other.
No Solicitation
Stay on topic.
Avoid self-incriminating posts.
Pick a good title.
Do not post non-technical articles.
Ideally, the content should be original, we don't care about your crappy ARP poisoner or Kaspersky's latest scam.
No pay / signup walls.
No coin miners
No "Please hack X" posts
Well thought out and researched questions / answers only.
If your project is not free / open source it does not belong.
Please limit your posts (we don't want to read your blog three times a week).
If you want to submit a video, no one wants to listen to your cyberpunk music while you copy/paste commands into kali terminals.

The mods are ban-happy, you have been warned.
