Editorial policy
Security advice is only useful if you can tell where it came from. This is how our content is made.
How pages are researched
Every technical claim is traced to primary documentation — vendor docs, Google Search Central, CISA advisories, NIST publications or the maintainer's own repository. Where a page describes a procedure, the procedure is walked through end to end before it is published. If we cannot verify a step, the step does not go in.
Sourcing
Pages that make claims about attacker behaviour, platform policy or remediation steps carry a Sources block listing the exact reference and, where useful, which claim that reference supports. We link to the original source rather than to a summary of it.
Review and freshness
Each page records when it was published, when it was last updated and, where a technical review happened, when it was last reviewed. Security guidance ages badly, so pages in fast-moving areas are re-checked on a rolling basis and the review date is only moved when someone actually re-reads the page.
What we do not publish
No invented statistics, no fabricated author credentials, no fake review counts, no affiliate-driven rankings dressed as editorial, and no weaponised exploit code. Tool pages state their real status — planned, beta or live — and we do not describe features a tool does not have.
Corrections
If a page is wrong, we fix the page rather than quietly deleting it, and material corrections are reflected in the updated date. Report an issue through the contact page and include the URL.
Independence
Sponsored placements, if any, are labelled as such. Editorial coverage of a tool is never sold, and a paid listing never changes where a tool appears in a comparison.
