Intrusion Academy teaches offensive and defensive security skills. These skills can cause real harm if they are misused, so every student must follow this policy.
1. Only test what you are allowed to test
- Use the techniques and tools you learn only on systems you own, on the labs we provide, or on systems whose owner has given you written permission to test them.
- Stay within the scope of that permission. Permission to test one system is not permission to test another.
- Do not use what you learn to access, damage, disrupt, spy on or steal from any system, network, account or person without authorisation.
2. Your responsibility
You alone are legally responsible for how you use what you learn. Intrusion Academy, its instructors and staff are not responsible for any unauthorised or illegal use. Unauthorised access to computer systems is a crime under Egyptian law (including Law No. 175 of 2018 on Combating Information Technology Crimes) and the laws of other countries.
3. Academy systems and labs
- Do not attack, scan or try to break into the academy's website, dashboard, servers or other students' machines, except inside a lab that is clearly set up for that exercise, or as our Bug Hunting Policy allows.
- Security testing of the academy site, Signal and Signal Console is welcome when it follows the Bug Hunting Policy. Report what you find privately through the Contact page and do not use or share it.
- Other students' machines and accounts are never in scope.
4. Respect in class and online
- Treat instructors and other students with respect in live sessions, comments and messages. No harassment, hate speech or threats.
- Do not share other students' personal data, screens or work without their consent.
- Do not share quiz answers or lab solutions while a course is running.
5. What happens if this policy is broken
We may warn you, remove you from a session, or suspend or close your account without a refund, depending on how serious the breach is. Where the law requires it, we may report illegal activity to the authorities.
