R.A.P. Sheet

Responsible Attribution Policy — version 1.0

§1 — Preamble

The security industry has long operated under a framework known as "responsible disclosure," in which the researcher privately contacts the vendor, negotiates a timeline, and publishes only after the vendor has had an opportunity to develop and distribute a patch. The researcher assumes the burden of coordination, follow-up, and silence.

We do not participate in this framework.

§2 — Disclosure Model

All findings produced by sl0p.foo are published immediately and exclusively on warez.sl0p.foo. This site serves as the sole coordination platform. There is no private disclosure channel. There is no embargo period. There is no vendor notification prior to publication.

Vendors are encouraged to monitor this site at their convenience.

§3 — Responsibility

Under this policy, the word "responsible" refers exclusively to the vendor's obligation to their own users. Specifically:

1. Vendors are responsible for the security of the software they ship.
2. Vendors are responsible for monitoring public channels for reports affecting their products.
3. Vendors are responsible for developing and deploying patches in a timely manner once a vulnerability is public.
4. The researcher's responsibility begins and ends with the publication of accurate technical findings.

§4 — Attribution Requirement

When a vendor patches a vulnerability first published on warez.sl0p.foo, we require that the patch, advisory, changelog entry, or CVE description include attribution to sl0p.foo as the source of the finding.

Acceptable attribution formats include but are not limited to:

• Reported by: sl0p.foo
• Credit: warez.sl0p.foo
• Source: https://warez.sl0p.foo/<advisory>/

This requirement is not legally enforceable. It is a matter of professional courtesy extended between parties who ship code that other people depend on. We publish the bugs. You publish the fixes. We both put our names on our work.

§5 — Consequences of Non-Attribution

There are none. We will not file complaints, send follow-up emails, or post about it on social media. We will simply continue publishing.

Effective date: July 6, 2026. This policy applies to all findings published on warez.sl0p.foo from this date forward. It may be revised at any time without notice.
