Practice ruleAuthorized labs only — stay ethical
## Learn hard. Stay clean. Hacking skills without ethics are just unpaid crime prep. On this street we practice in labs, authorized programs, and your own systems — never someone else's unprotected life. If a technique only works when consent is missing, it does not belong in your public write-up as a how-to. Context matters. Intent matters. Document both.
