Ethical hacking is the authorized examination of systems, applications,
networks, and security controls to identify weaknesses before they can be
exploited by malicious actors. It may include penetration testing,
vulnerability assessment, security validation, and responsible disclosure
conducted within an agreed scope.
Computer Tech Reviews welcomes ethical hackers, penetration testers,
security researchers, application-security professionals, defenders, and
experienced technology writers. We are interested in responsible,
educational articles that help readers understand vulnerabilities, improve
defensive practices, and conduct security testing legally and safely.
This page forms part of our broader
Cyber Security Write for Us
section, which covers threat prevention, malware, network security, data
protection, privacy, and security management.
Ethical Hacking Topics We Welcome
We accept original articles covering authorized testing, vulnerability
management, defensive research, security careers, and responsible
disclosure. Suitable subjects include:
- Ethical hacking principles, authorization, scope, and rules of engagement
- Penetration-testing planning, methodology, documentation, and reporting
- Vulnerability assessment, validation, prioritization, and remediation
- Web, API, mobile, cloud, wireless, and network security testing
- Secure coding and common application-security weaknesses
- Security testing in controlled laboratories and training environments
- Responsible vulnerability disclosure and communication with vendors
- Red-team, blue-team, and purple-team collaboration
- Threat modeling and attack-surface management
- Penetration-testing tools used for lawful defensive purposes
- Ethical hacking careers, skills, laboratories, and certifications
- Lessons from remediated vulnerabilities and authorized assessments
Authorization Comes First
Security testing should only be performed on systems you own or have
explicit permission to assess. A professional engagement should define the
approved targets, testing period, permitted techniques, excluded systems,
data-handling requirements, emergency contacts, and reporting process.
Articles should not encourage readers to test public websites, accounts,
networks, devices, or services without authorization. Even a well-intended
security test can cause disruption, expose information, or violate
agreements and applicable laws when performed outside an approved scope.
What Makes a Strong Ethical Hacking Article?
A strong submission should help readers understand a vulnerability or
testing process while emphasizing prevention, detection, remediation, and
responsible practice. Explain the security principle involved rather than
presenting an unexplained sequence of commands.
Demonstrations should use local laboratories, intentionally vulnerable
applications, capture-the-flag environments, or clearly authorized test
systems. Remove credentials, tokens, public targets, personal information,
client details, and exploit material that could create unnecessary harm.
Case studies are welcome when the affected organization has approved
disclosure or the information is already responsibly public. Focus on the
lessons learned, defensive improvements, and remediation process.

Content We Will Not Accept
- Instructions for accessing systems without authorization
- Credential theft, phishing campaigns, or account-takeover instructions
- Malware deployment, destructive payloads, or persistence techniques
- Guidance intended to evade security monitoring or conceal illegal activity
- Attacks directed at identifiable public websites, networks, or individuals
- Stolen data, exposed credentials, private exploits, or confidential findings
- Claims that illegal testing becomes acceptable because it is educational
