GreenHat Wiki
Pointers to where things live on the site and how the platform fits into the kind of work we do—pentesting, bug bounty, CTF, tooling, and learning.
Onboarding and Help
If you’re new, start with the step-by-step and the FAQ. They cover signup, groups, discussions, chat, and the stuff people usually ask first.
Security and Infosec Context
GreenHat is built for people who work in or study security. The discussion categories and groups map to the usual domains: web (OWASP-style topics, XSS, CSRF, injection, secure dev), network (recon, pentest methodology, defense), crypto (hashing, encryption, secure comms), and app-level vulns. We don’t host a full infosec textbook here—we link to the dashboard and groups where the community posts tutorials, write-ups, and tool recommendations. Use the topic filters (Tutorials & Guides, Tools & Resources, etc.) to narrow down.
Contests and Leaderboards
Typing Tests run continuously (1-, 3-, 5-minute). Hacker Cup and Beginner’s Code are timed coding contests—you type your solution, no copy-paste; some are premium-gated. Results feed into the leaderboards; you can filter by contest and time range. Good place to benchmark yourself and see what the community is running.
Where the Community Lives
The main feed is the dashboard (discussions by category). Groups are topic-based rooms with their own membership and, in some cases, paid access. Public News is our Hacker-News-style feed for links and short posts. If you’re looking for a specific niche—e.g. bug bounty, CTF, career—browse groups and use the Following feed to track topics and authors you care about.
