As an observer of this forum for a decent amount of time I am in a good place to give anybody truly interested the most in depth and precise review of this forum.

The brief summary(TLDR version) - Avoid at all costs.

Hackforums once was a bustling community full of teenage coders and young entrepreneurs looking to make money, create platforms, products, improve skills and ultimately become the next Bill Gates.

What is hackforums now? It's a pitiful toxic place where not much really happens and you see the same 20-30 people every day talk about the same things.

The owner has created more enemies than friends and essentially let greed get the best of him. Your chances of being scammed and infinitely higher than your chances of a successful deal or finding anything that would benefit you.

There's a section called e-whoring which is abysmal and underage gambling where kids lose thousands and up scamming somebody to recoup some of the funds.

This was a forum that once had 500 active members at any given time and averaged 25k posts per day at the bare minimum now it gets 1k per day maximum and half of those are new members spamming to build an account they hope to scam from a few days later.

To anybody who values their time or energy AVOID THIS TOXIC CESSPIT and let it fade into the dustbin of history where sadly, it now belongs.

My review of hackforums is quite simple. Eventually you grow up and see it for what it is. It's a racketing operation in which the owner benefits financially from the crimes of others.

Every member is replaceable under this model and the forum is set up to benefit criminals, scammers and ultimately the owner who benefits from everything.

I am actually embarrassed I spent so long as a member on the forum. There were some good and fun times and honestly I did make some good money but ethically and morally it is a defunct place.

For example trappy is a huge ebook seller there and he sells total trash but he will be defended by the owner at all costs since he pays weekly a nice amount in stickies. So the average person who has no idea they're buying trash loses but both the owner and trappy benefit and that is the whole model right there.

Everybody knows trappy is selling junk but nothing changes. To anybody thinking of joining, don't bother it's best days were years ago and now it's just sad. To the people still wasting time on the site, let it go.

Hackforums.com is a very childish forum to sign up on. Hackforums houses over 3,035,431 members. Has a thread line of 3,455,787 and post's of 49,739,031. They are the most skiddish forum on the web.

Hackforums.com is the number one most horrible forum to sign up on and I will explain why. The members there are 10-25 years old and they do not know anything about exploiting. They think binary tools is the way to go. If you want to learn about rats, viruses, I would strongly go with Team-Dx.Com, or Underground-Exploits.com. They have more tutorials based on Linux, and Windows combined. Hackforums.com primary focus is white hat security. But when you sign up you will see alot of trolls, people negative repping you for no reason as all. They think just because they have Uber status they are elite.

Another reason I wouldn't register is because there content is poor, it is mainly just kids asking how to hack this, and hack that. Instead of making an effort. Even the legit posts are stupid, because the post is just a repeat from another thread made from the web.

If I were you I'd stay away from this forum for experience. Do yourself a favor and register on team-dx.com, or underground-exploits.com.

Thank you for reading my Hack Forums review!

Best site ever.
April 11, 2015

Site is used for not just positive hacking but also has a excellent gaming marketplace.
And Lounge area to talk about whatever your heart desires.

Awful staff

Staff are bad, community is full of wannabe backers. Avoid that site at all costs (I found raidfoums to be a lot better)

Ce site (qui se fait passer pour un forum) est dirigé par des arnaqueurs qui créent de faux profils afin de vendre des "formations" qui vous arnaquent du début à la fin. Faites très attention.
Par exemple, ils vendent une méthode censé vous rendre riche. Cette methode est évidemment payante. Après avoir obtenu la méthode, ils vous expliquent une manière de vous faire de l'argent qui en réalité vous arnaque en vous faisait utiliser des scripts/logiciels qu'ils ont conçu pour vous prendre votre argent.

C'est un réseau bien ficelé qui ne devraiuement pas exister et qui fait miroiter à des personnes en besoin d'argent des astuces miracles qui vous font perdre de l'argent.
