Getting the Most from the Community

Asking Good Questions

When seeking support, include:

1. What you are trying to do — The goal, not just the error
2. What you have tried — Steps already taken and their results
3. Error messages — Exact error text, not paraphrased
4. Configuration — Relevant settings (with sensitive values redacted)
5. Tier and target type — Which pentest tier you are using and what kind of target (web app, API, etc.)

Sharing Findings

When showcasing findings in #findings-showcase:

• Always anonymize — Remove target URLs, IP addresses, and any identifying information
• Focus on the interesting aspect — What made this finding notable? Was it a chain? A novel technique?
• Include the remediation — Help others learn how to fix similar issues
• Tag the finding type — Use channel tags like [XSS], [SSRF], [Chain] for discoverability

Participating in Events

Community events run on a regular schedule:

• Monthly AMA — The TurboPentest team answers community questions live
• Bi-weekly Webinar — Deep dives into specific features, integration patterns, or security topics
• Quarterly Pentest Challenge — Competitive events where participants pentest designated targets for prizes

Community Guidelines

The TurboPentest Discord follows these core principles:

1. Be respectful — Treat every member with professionalism and courtesy
2. No unauthorized testing — Never discuss pentesting targets you do not have authorization to test
3. No credential sharing — Never share API keys, account credentials, or licensed content
4. Keep it constructive — Criticism should be actionable and focused on improvement
5. Protect privacy — Never share personal information about others without consent

Violations result in warnings, temporary mutes, or permanent bans depending on severity.
