Responsible Disclosure Policy for Samsclass.info
We take the security of our systems seriously, and we value the security community. The responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities helps us ensure the security and privacy of our users.
Guidelines
We require that all researchers:
- Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction of data during security testing;
- Perform research only within the scope set out below;
- Use the identified communication channels to report vulnerability information to us; and
- Keep information about any vulnerabilities you've discovered confidential between yourself and Sam Bowne until we've had 15 days to resolve the issue.
If you follow these guidelines when reporting an issue to us, we commit to:
- Not pursue or support any legal action related to your research;
- Work with you to understand and resolve the issue quickly (including an initial confirmation of your report within 72 hours of submission);
- Recognize your contribution on our
Security Researcher Hall of Fame, if you are the first to report the issue and we make a code or configuration change based on the issue.
Scope
Materials hosted on these servers:
- samsclass.info
- games.samsclass.info
- attack.samsclass.info
Out of scope
Any services hosted by 3rd party providers and services are excluded from scope. These services include, but are not limited to:
- Any part of the CCSF.EDU domain
- Any part of the TWITTER.COM domain
- Any part of the MIT.EDU domain
- Any part of the GOOGLE.COM or GMAIL.COM domains
In the interest of the safety of our users, staff, the Internet at large and you as a security researcher, the following test types are excluded from scope:
- Findings from physical testing such as office access (e.g. open doors, tailgating)
- Findings derived primarily from social engineering (e.g. phishing, vishing)
- Findings from applications or systems not listed in the 'Scope' section
- Network level Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) vulnerabilities
Intentional Vulnerabilities
The attack server contains several hacking games,
which intentionally have vulnerabilities such
as SQLi and XSS. The only vulnerabilities worth
reporting on them would be a way to break or cheat
on the games.
Things we do not want to receive
Personally identifiable information (PII)
