Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!
Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.
Can we ask hacking related question?
Hacking tools are execute from terminal. While Powerusers is for OS's Q&A. Some sample of Linux system's question is included below :
- How to turn on night light in terminal?
- How to create users in terminal?
- Why wireless isn't showing?
Actually, in this site users can ask how to use the tool from command line. And, hacking tools are used from terminal also. So, can we ask following types of question?
- Which Facebook BruteForcer work in "Kali/Terminal"? (I have tried "this command" and, this is returning following error.)
- I was trying to use sqlmap but, I am having this kind of problem and this
Sorry! I am not actually using Kali or any kind of Pen-testing OS that's why I couldn't add more related question here.

(My opinion, not as staff) I'd say that terminal software is on-topic here. You don't have to be a developer to use a terminal. Think of things like ffmpeg — not developer-oriented, just a generally useful package, but also pretty confusing for a new user. Questions about things like that seem perfectly reasonable for this site.
(Now as staff) For obvious reasons, questions about any kind of illegal or legally-questionable activity — including "how do I hack this site" — are explicitly off-topic anywhere on the network, and are subject to immediate deletion.
Actually, it's not easy to answer the question. There's lot of Facebook Brute Forcer and lot of hacking tools is available in github. I am answering the question in few steps.
Don't ask :
- You can't ask us which Brute Forcer is best(Which tool you have to use for fb/insta/website hacking).
- I have found the git repo (tool) how to use it?
- There's lot of tools available in Kali Linux, Parrot and Black Arch. So, sometime you may start using a new Software. Let's take wpscan(Wordpress Scanner). You have started hacking a website using that Software and, you got no error even, nothing is showing. For that reason you can't ask those kind of question.
- Metasploit is a tool which every beginner ethical hacker uses. Sometime you may faces problem on Metasploit/msfvenom also. You can't ask this type of question.
You can ask :
- Every tools (I am indicating hacking tools here) is created by programming. Suppose, you have found a brute forcer and, you are facing a problem (
Syntax error) than, you can ask; Show us source code of that programming. And, tell us what you have tried. And tell us where the problem is if you know. ~ You have to ask this type of question in Software Codidact cause, this is programming related question. - Question like whole data isn't showing on POST sql injection and not getting whole data by sqlmap. This is kind of question is also related to programming, So you should ask this kind of question in Software Codidact also. You may ask that why I added another line for this kind of problem. Actually, this kind of problem doesn't return any error. That's why I wrote it in another line.
