MeteSec is an independently edited personal publication by Mete Demirci. Its purpose is to explain cybersecurity clearly, document practical learning, and publish considered analysis without disguising uncertainty or experience level.
What gets published#
Articles are selected because they add a useful explanation, tested observation, practical lesson, or clearly identified perspective. MeteSec is curated rather than comprehensive: not every exercise, certification, news item, or opinion becomes an article.
Evidence and labels#
Content should make a meaningful distinction between:
- facts supported by primary or authoritative sources;
- observations from work, labs, or personal testing;
- interpretation based on the available evidence;
- personal experience and opinion.
When an article depends on external material, sources should be linked close to the relevant claim or listed in a references section. Personal accounts are labelled as such and are not presented as universal advice.
Review and updates#
Technical content is checked for internal consistency, working links, and obvious factual errors before publication. Material changes receive an updated date. Small typographical edits may be made without an update note.
Security changes quickly. A publication date is therefore part of the evidence: readers should not assume that an old tool, product, certification, or recommendation still works in exactly the same way.
Independence#
MeteSec does not sell article placement or accept payment for rankings. Any future commercial relationship, affiliate link, free review access, or sponsored material will be disclosed clearly on the affected page. Support through Ko-fi does not influence editorial decisions or create access to favourable coverage.
Safety and ethics#
Offensive-security material is intended for authorized environments, defensive understanding, and responsible research. Articles will not knowingly publish private credentials, sensitive customer information, active secrets, or instructions whose primary value is clearly harmful abuse.
Corrections#
Errors should be corrected openly and proportionately. See the corrections policy for the process and the distinction between minor edits and substantive corrections.
