Security & Responsible Disclosure

1. The Devwalls Ethical Hacker Pledge

Every student and practitioner enrolled in Devwalls Academy must uphold our core ethical principles. Knowledge acquired in our offensive and AI security rooms carries real-world responsibility:

• Authorization First: Never perform scans, penetration tests, or security audits without explicit, written permission from the asset owner.
• Do No Harm: Never destroy data, disrupt production services, exfiltrate sensitive customer records, or install persistence backdoors outside authorized scopes.
• Defend the Ecosystem: Use your technical capabilities to fortify African and global software infrastructure against criminal syndicates.

2. Isolated Laboratory Sandbox Architecture

Devwalls Academy runs an isolated sandbox infrastructure to let students practice real vulnerabilities safely:

3. Responsible Disclosure Safe Harbor

If you believe you have identified a vulnerability in the Devwalls Academy web application, authentication system, or production infrastructure, we welcome your disclosure under our Safe Harbor commitment:

• We will not initiate legal action against security researchers who comply with our disclosure policy and act in good faith.
• We commit to acknowledging received vulnerability reports within 48 hours.
• We will provide status updates as triage and remediation progress toward deployment.
