Optimize Your Internet Security Projects

Hi,

Our Meta Business Portfolio has been permanently restricted since March 2024, with our Facebook Page still owned by it.

Our personal account, Instagram and newer portfolio show no restrictions, but attempts to transfer the Page fail.

Meta Support advised that a manual Page release is required, yet numerous escalations and support cases have led nowhere.

Have you successfully handled similar cases, and could you assist with a legitimate manual release?

Many thanks.

Hi there! There’s a fake profile made with my profile picture with husband. The profile is spreading my personal stolen cctv footage and also spreading words of lies and misinformation also blackmail me to write more!

We have an existing WordPress business website that appears to have been compromised.

We are planning to replace the website separately, so this job is **not a redesign, rebuild or migration project**. There is no website content that needs to be extracted for the new site.

The purpose of this job is to determine what happened, how extensive the compromise is, and whether the issue is limited to WordPress or could affect the wider hosting environment.

We need an experienced WordPress security specialist to:

- Inspect the WordPress installation for malware, malicious code, backdoors, web shells and unauthorised modifications.
- Check WordPress core files, plugins and themes.
- Inspect the database for suspicious or injected content.
- Review administrator and user accounts for unauthorised access.
- Check relevant files such as `.htaccess`, `wp-config.php`, cron jobs and PHP files.
- Review available access/server logs where useful.
- Identify likely persistence or reinfection mechanisms.
- Determine the likely cause or entry point of the compromise where possible.
- Assess whether the compromise appears limited to the WordPress site or could extend to the wider hosting account.
- Check for risks affecting other hosting services, DNS, email accounts or related websites where relevant.
- Advise which passwords, credentials, API keys or services should be changed.
- Recommend the safest way to decommission the old WordPress installation.
- Provide a short written summary of findings and recommended actions.

Please do **not** perform additional remediation, migration or rebuilding work without approval first.

We are looking for someone with strong hands-on experience investigating compromised WordPress sites. Please explain whether your process includes manual investigation in addition to automated malware/security scanners.

Good communication is important, and we would like the findings explained clearly enough for a non-security specialist to understand.

My Instagram account has been hacked. I need help to recover it.

Details:

Ideal Skills & Experience:
- Experience with Instagram account recovery
- Knowledge of security protocols
- Ability to navigate support channels effectively

Please provide a clear plan and timeline for recovery.

I need a trained web-security professional to examine my public-facing website and highlight any common weaknesses before they can be exploited. The scope is strictly the areas that are publicly accessible—no authenticated sections, portals, or payment flows—so the engagement should be quick, targeted, and non-intrusive.

Your assessment should combine automated scanning (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Community or similar) with manual verification so that false positives are weeded out and any missed issues are uncovered. Please respect production-safe practices at all times: no destructive attacks, no denial-of-service techniques, and no data tampering.

Deliverables
• A concise report that lists each vulnerability, its risk rating, reproducible PoC steps (screenshots or video welcome), and clear remediation advice.
• A summary spreadsheet or table that maps findings to the OWASP Top 10 categories for quick reference.
• A brief follow-up call or chat to walk me through the results and answer questions.

I will provide the live URL and any technical constraints once we start. Ideally, you can finish testing and deliver the report within one week.

Looking for a Discord Security Expert to help secure my server and prevent scammers and impersonators from targeting members. We’re seeing fake accounts pretending to be MySportPick and sending private messages to members, likely through our Welcome Channel.

I’m looking for an experienced, ethical game hacker to dive into my own title and help me uncover – and then patch – any security weaknesses that could be abused during multiplayer matches. The very first area I want you to probe is the way player actions are validated and synchronised across the network. If there’s a loophole that lets a user move, shoot or otherwise act outside the rules, I need to know — and I need a solid fix.

You’ll have full access to a private test environment, plus source-level insight where required. I welcome any tools you normally rely on for exploit discovery: packet sniffers, debuggers, memory editors, man-in-the-middle scripts or custom fuzzers. Just document each step so I can reproduce your findings and understand the mitigation you propose.

Deliverables
• A concise vulnerability report for every issue discovered, including proof-of-concept steps or scripts
• Recommended code or configuration changes that close each gap without introducing new gameplay bugs
• A brief verification pass after fixes are applied to confirm the weaknesses are fully resolved

I built this game from scratch and I’m protective of player experience, so clear communication and ethical practice are non-negotiable. If you can spot what I’ve missed and help me harden the multiplayer layer quickly, we’ll be a great fit.

We have built an invite-only client portal on Lovable (React front end) with our own Supabase project: Postgres, row-level security, Supabase Auth with emailed sign-in codes, security definer functions and a small email worker. We are about to invite our first users and want an independent security review first. This is a review, not a development project. Please do not propose building features.

What we want reviewed
- Row-level security, grants and security definer functions: can one client see or change another client's data, can a client write anything directly, can staff access be escalated?
- Authentication and sessions: the emailed sign-in code, invitations, deactivation, and any password routes.
- The server routes and scheduled worker: secret handling, rate limiting, Vault, pg_cron and pg_net.
- Black-box testing of the live site using demo accounts we provide.

What you will deliver
- A written report ranked by severity, with evidence, steps to reproduce and a recommended fix for each finding.
- A short call to walk us through it.

What we will provide, after an NDA and an agreed scope
- Read-only access to the code repository and database migrations.
- A security notes document listing our rules and our accepted risks.
- Demo staff and client accounts. No real client data and no service keys.

I'm a DevOps engineer (up to 3 years, AWS/Terraform/CDK/Python/Docker). I need someone with Lead/Senior experience in DevOps/Platform Engineering who knows how these technical interviews work. I would require guidance and support for success along with mock interviews.

I’m setting up a series of real-time, online sessions for a group of advanced professionals who already know their way around firewalls, SIEM dashboards, and basic pen-testing tools. They now want to push further into three areas: hardened network security architectures, offensive techniques in ethical hacking, and disciplined incident response that stands up under pressure.

All classes need to be delivered live through a platform such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams so participants can ask questions, share screens, and work through hands-on labs in real time. I’ll handle the scheduling and enrolment; you focus on building a cohesive curriculum, presenting the material, and supplying any virtual lab images, slide decks, and reference notes we can share afterward.

To ensure we meet the bar for seasoned practitioners, please weave in current frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF), up-to-date threat intel, and demonstrations using popular toolsets—think Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, and an EDR of your choice—without spending time on beginner basics.

Deliverables
• A detailed syllabus outlining session objectives and required tooling
• Live instruction (approx. 10–12 hours spread over multiple slots) with interactive labs
• Post-class resources: slides, recorded sessions, and lab walkthroughs
• A short assessment or capture-the-flag style challenge to validate learning

If you’re an engaging trainer who thrives on deep technical Q&A and live demos, let’s talk dates and any platform requirements you may have.

• Map the card-holder data environment, then execute comprehensive network and application tests (black-box and authenticated where applicable).
• Exploit, not just scan, to prove impact while maintaining evidence for auditors.
• Re-test once fixes are applied to confirm closure.

Deliverables
• Formal methodology and test plan aligned with PCI DSS 4.x.
• Detailed vulnerability report with risk ratings and reproducible PoCs.
• Executive summary for management and a technical appendix for engineers.
• Remediation recommendations prioritised by risk.
• Attestation of penetration test completion suitable for submission to my QSA.

I will grant VPN or on-site access, plus staging credentials for application testing. All testing must respect our change-control windows and be performed with Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, or equivalent industry-standard tools. Data collected must remain confidential and deleted after sign-off.

Please indicate your testing framework, sample redacted reports, and estimated duration for initial test and follow-up verification.

Hi all,

We're a small EdTech startup in Europe and would like a grey-box penetration test of our web app before a wider launch. Before we go further, I'd like to know how many hours you'd estimate and what fixed price you'd charge.

What's in scope:
- The web app (React) and its API (Python/FastAPI, around 100 endpoints)
- Sign-in (email and Google sign-in), sessions and tokens
- Access between users: whether one student can reach another student's courses, files, chats or saved data
- File uploads (PDFs, images and documents)
- The AI tutor: prompt injection, leaking other users' data or its own instructions
- Whether a student account can reach the admin area or get around plan and usage limits

How it would work:
- Testing on a staging copy with made-up accounts only, no real user data
- You'd get test student accounts and the API documentation
- Out of scope: load or DoS testing, and our hosting and AI providers' own systems
- Written permission to test and an NDA signed before starting
- We'd prefer a fixed-price contract in two milestones: the report, then a retest after fixes

Could you tell me:
1. How many hours you'd estimate, and your fixed price for this scope
2. Roughly how much of it is hands-on testing and how much is automated scanning
3. Whether a retest after fixes is included
4. A sample report with client details removed
5. A verification link for your certifications
6. When you could start and how long it would take

Thanks,
Andrea
