Learn and hire guides for ethical hacking

The one rule in every guide

Testing is legal only with the owner's authorisation. US and UK computer misuse laws both turn on it. Therefore all the learn and hire guides start from that line, whether they teach or sell.

How to use these learn and hire guides

If you are learning, start with the lessons guide. Then build a lab, and practise on invited targets. Also, read the hat label guides, because they show where the legal line sits. If you are hiring, go straight to the services guide. It explains the scope, the authorisation and the fixed fee. So one message is usually enough to start. In short, the learn and hire guides save you a round of questions.
