Submission Guidelines — Infosec WatchTower

Welcome to Infosec WatchTower. This publication has been recently created to as Medium’s newest compilation of in-depth write-ups from the best hackers on topics ranging from bug bounties and CTFs to exploit POCs to read team/blue team recaps to any news in the Cybersecurity world. Our goal is to give people a network to share their work, as well as providing a platform to learn and develop their skills by bouncing information off other writers.

Many readers are unaware of this, but you can clap 50 times on any post. If an article teaches you something, feel free to click the button 50 times!

What It Means to be Published with Infosec WatchTower

• The story will still appear on your profile page.
• As the author, you retain all rights to your story.
• Your story will not only be shown to your followers, but will be shown to everyone following Infosec WatchTower as well.

How to Submit?

If requesting submission:

If you think this publication is a good place for your write-up and you are not already a writer in this publication, send an email with your Medium profile link and with the subject “Infosec Watchtower Submission Request” to infosecwatchtower@gmail.com.

Tips:

1. Try to embed images in your write-ups so that the reader can understand what you are exactly trying to explain.
2. Use Medium text editing features to highlight, quote, etc., and make it look more visually appealing.
3. If you have to embed big chunks of code, consider using https://gist.github.com/.
4. If you want to take it a step further and make it grammatically correct, you can try using Grammarly.
5. Try to keep the write-ups short (~8 min read). If not possible, make it into parts and append the link to other parts below the others.
6. Upload videos to Youtube, and then you can embed them.
7. Be sure to properly cite any images and text you have taken from other creators; we aim to provide everyone with appropriate credit and recognition.
