Dynasty has officially begun recruiting. Though I say that the second branch is the core of Dynasty, is it not that everything is fundamentally made of its smaller parts? Can a tree stand tall without a root that attaches it?

The third branch is the lowest, base level of the group. It isn't included into the usergroup on HackForums. Everyone can join as it is completely independent of skill. All who join will take part in weekly assignments and lessons that will be hosted, either on TeamViewer, or on our IRC. The third branch is for everyone who wants to learn and improve. The course is made to make a beginner advance to an intermediate level of knowledge.

Members of the third branch will be given a chance to join the second branch. Everyone who joins the training is given a potential chance to be one of us. How, you might ask? By actively taking part in the free hacking course.

The training course consists of two things:

• Direct training from a higher branch
  • This means that a skilled member will directly be hosting a lesson and inducting information. The method of teaching is direct and concise. All you have to do is listen. It will also be teaching you about real life scenarios and things you don't find in tutorials. It will gradually pick up in difficulty. Allow me to demonstrate with an example; It starts easy. Your average LFI tutorial does teach you the actual method, but what happens when you can't use the RCE functions? Or what if you don't have a writable directory? Or how would you go with actually locating the access logs without bruteforcing? It will go from easier aspects and after months we will be introducing you to low level exploitation and exploit development.
    
    
  
  
  
  


• Indirect training
  • This is done in form of assignments. You will be given a task and reasonable time to finish it. The assignments will start out low, but will get harder and harder. Do not expect unreasonable difficulty as it is in our interest to teach, not scare you. As you do the assignment and look up the information needed to complete it, you will be teaching yourself.
    
  
  
  
  

Upon finishing the training, the members that remain will be tested in order to make sure that they've improved and to make sure that they haven't cheated along the way. Members that pass the final test will make it into the second branch and into Dynasty. Please refer to this thread for more information.
