PSA Labs is a privacy-first, security-minded project. This page sets expectations for how we treat each other and how content is created.

Be respectful

  • Assume good intent, but be direct and constructive.
  • No harassment, hate speech, doxxing, threats, or personal attacks.
  • Keep discussions focused on the topic and the learning outcome.

Privacy-first by default

  • Don’t share personal data (yours or anyone else’s) in comments, issues, or submissions.
  • If you reference logs/screenshots, redact secrets, tokens, email addresses, IPs, and identifiers.
  • If a topic involves exploitation, keep it educational and defensive. No “how to break into X” content.

AI usage & transparency

AI may be used as a tool to improve clarity and speed up writing, but we do not publish unverified AI output.

AI labels used on PSA Labs

AI Improved (green)

  • AI helped with spelling/grammar, clarity, structure, or brainstorming.
  • The core content is human-authored; AI assistance is limited to improvements.
  • The final article is reviewed and edited by a human.

AI Generated (Verified) (blue)

  • AI produced a significant part of the draft (examples, text, or steps), but:
    • the content was reviewed by a human,
    • commands/steps were tested (where applicable),
    • and the final article was edited to remove ambiguity and “slop”.

Generative AI for graphics

Some of the visual assets on PSA Labs (for example the mascot “pabu” and the experimental flask) are currently generated with AI. As the project grows, we plan to replace these with human-made assets (commissioned or licensed) where feasible.

We aim to handle visuals responsibly:

  • We disclose AI-generated visuals when they are used.
  • We don’t intentionally imitate a specific artist’s recognizable style.
  • We only publish assets we have the rights to use.
  • Photos are credited and linked to their source/licensing where applicable.
  • Screenshots are our own, or treated like photos (with attribution when needed).

What we don’t publish

  • Purely AI-generated articles that aren’t reviewed and validated.
  • “Copy-paste” content that looks correct but wasn’t tested.

If something looks wrong, unclear, or outdated, please report it so it can be corrected.
