Overview
Security is HackForums.net newest official group, acquired by Divined and is under the management of Divined and myself (AsSaSs@iN). There are several sectors of the Security Team, these  include the the malware analysis sector and the the coders sector. Security will act as a hub for experts in these fields to offer formal lessons to members to enhance their knowledge and equip them with the tools to contribute positively to the members of HackForums and the wider web for both unpaid and paid services. We also act as the home and  development arena for our original monthly security magazine Authenticate pioneered by The Worker and AsSaSs@iN.

Position applying for: Editors/Grammar Nazis

What expertise do you offer for this position? In the era of Writers group, I was responsible for all the sections regarding proofreading. Besides, I have had been offering writing service on Hack Forums where my adage is to offer quality content (plagiarism-free).

Why do you want to join? I reckon, we often learn when we indulge ourselves in the field of learning. It would be a great exaltation to be a part of this group where I'll get a chance to work on my skills while helping the rest of the team.

Would you be ready to rewrite the whole article if we think it doesn't meet the standard? Apparently, as words have the power to influence. Therefore, I'm always ready to offer the best content and rewrite it until it meets the expectation!

[Elitas]

I'm really excited for this projects. Hoping to see some people with good knowledge of security who reads the news daily to publish regular small articles about different things and they will then be combined together to create this.

Keep the applications coming, AsSaSs@iN is an ambitious dude who will run a great group without a doubt. Best of luck.

Thanks for applying guys, keep them rolling in this is going to be an awesome project.
Also thanks to my bud AsSaSs@iN for making this whole thing possible and for helping me out creating this thread.
If you are a tech enthusiast and think about things long-term then you should really apply to join the redaction.
I would apply while this is a new thing as it won't be as simple to join later if Authenticate turn out to be a success.

Good luck to all applicants, I'll be reviewing your applications with AsSaSs@iN and you will be notified in time.
Start thinking about what your subject as the #1 Edition will come out at the end of the month.
And I almost forgot...

Happy new year ;)

It's nice to see this group come about, you're taking the same path my Unofficial group took (secrecy), all about security and teaching it for free, glad to see a group like this. I would apply but busy with university I wish you luck and will be watching closely.
