[THUGS(red)]

Our community

THUGS(red) started as a group of people who liked breaking things and stayed for the company. The Discord is the front door — that is where the CTF coordination, the tool talk and most of the arguing happens.

who this is for

If you are into any of the following, you will find people to talk to:

  • CTF players — from "I have never done one" to people who plan their weekends around them.
  • Threat intelligence — particularly anything touching the Danish threat landscape.
  • Red teamers — tradecraft, tooling and war stories with the names filed off.
  • Hardware and RF — SDR, WiFi, RFID, and whatever just arrived from Lab401.
  • Curious beginners — genuinely. Everyone here was clueless once, most of us recently.

We are a Danish community and a lot of chat is in Danish, but English is welcome and common. Nobody will mind if you switch.

house rules

Short version, because nobody reads the long one:

  1. Stay legal. Everything discussed here assumes authorisation. No targeting systems you do not have permission to touch.
  2. No dropping other people's data. Leaks get discussed as intelligence, not redistributed.
  3. Ask the real question. "Can I ask a question?" wastes a round trip. Just ask it.
  4. Do not be a dick. Gatekeeping is boring and we will notice.

Break these and a moderator will have a word. Break them badly and you will not need the invite link again.

getting started

New and not sure where to begin? A route that works:

  1. Join the Discord and say hello — or lurk, that is fine too.
  2. Work through a training platform. OverTheWire's Bandit for Linux, PortSwigger's Academy for web.
  3. Play a beginner-friendly CTF with us. Ask when the next one is; there is nearly always one this weekend.
  4. Read the writeups — including for challenges you did not solve. That is where the learning is.
