Hack ForumsReviews 69

It doesn't take long to realise that the "business model" here is convincing wannabe hackers to pay BTC to upgrade to "l33t" membership so that they can access all forums.

Otherwise, forums have various "prestige" requirements that take far too long to achieve. For example, you need 5 prestige to post_replies_ in the C forum. You need 25(!) prestige to post replies in the science and philosophy forum. Note that I've used the forum for approximately 1 week, contributing significantly to the few forums I do have access to - and I still have... 0 prestige.

Despite all of these requirements, the quality of posts by most members is shockingly bad. There are people with prestige and tens of thousands of posts under their belt who post complete garbage in every topic. I've never before seen a tech site whose senior members and "experts" know so little about technology.

The staff are the usual arrogant types you'd expect from a site like this.

Basically, the site is a joke. :P

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!

Hackforums.net is an illegal hacking forum. Here black hat hackers exchange viruses, computer program exploits and give codes to activate programs.

It is a crime to participate in the above. I do not support or endorse the forum and recommend against creating or malware.

I would give the site one star - but this community can also be useful to an extent. The forum gives me an insight into what hackers are doing, and how to prevent future viruses or malware from entering my computer when it's released.

Lastly, let's hope that ICE can seize the domain soon. Sites like this make creating viruses easy, and the site makes hacking look "cool" when it isn't.

I joined this site to become more familiar with the security vulnerabilities of computers what I didn't know is that I would actually learn more from some of the users on this site. Hackforums.net is a pretty informative site to visit you can learn just about anything from how to secure your own personal computer to how to get even with an enemy. You can even find software and tutorials to help expand your knowledge of the security side of the internet. Plus it has a section for gamers who want to know how something works within a gaming system and any exploits that are found within that game or system. This site gets 4 stars for it's layout of information, ease of use, and it's informative nature.
