GNUCITIZEN

GNUCITIZEN exists to advance public understanding of offensive and defensive information security technologies, to educate and share information with its members and the public on best practices, tools and techniques for such coverage and to represent the interests of its members.

Our mission is to act as a focus for research on a wide range of defensive and offensive information security technologies. We do this by performing tailor-made tiger team and non-standard assessments and penetration tests. We also conduct our own research, commission research from outside, start projects and ideas, organize and participate in working groups, conferences and seminars to draw together the work of academic and underground specialists in a wide range of areas.

GNUCITIZEN acts on behalf of the whitehat community and it is a passionate adherent of all the ethical principles followed by the information security scene.

The Group

The GNUCITIZEN Group is a small community of individuals and their projects. The group shapes the face of the GNUCITIZEN Network and it is responsible for the majority of the work published under the GNUCITIZEN domains. The main purpose of the group is to share information between its members and communicate that information with the rest of the world by the means of blog posts, papers, research materials and projects.

Open Source

100% of our work is published under the most common open source licenses available today. We truly believe in the open source movement and do everything possible to support it. You can find the majority of our open source work under the code.gnucitizen.org domain.
