About HackRIT
Fostering a new generation of tech innovators at RIT.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a safer digital ecosystem by connecting organizations with a global community of ethical security researchers. We provide a robust platform that facilitates the discovery and remediation of security vulnerabilities, fostering a collaborative environment where both companies and hackers can thrive.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the power of collaborative security. Our platform is built on the principles of transparency, fairness, and mutual respect. The process is simple: organizations present their code for testing, our community of hackers searches for vulnerabilities, and upon finding a valid bug, they report it responsibly through our platform. Once the vulnerability is verified and fixed, the hacker is rewarded for their contribution. This cycle not only secures applications but also cultivates a proactive security culture.
