Contribute

Translate an article, fix a mistake, or write something new. No CMS account required.

Boring Security is written by volunteers. Every article on this site was written by someone who decided it should exist, and every translation by someone who wanted it in their language.

You do not need permission to help, and you do not need to be a developer.

Translate

This is the most useful thing you can do here, and the most under-served — English has far more articles than any other language. The table below shows what each language is missing.

You will need a GitHub account. When you save your first change, the editor will notice you do not have write access and offer to fork the repo — accept, then install the Keystatic app on your fork when it asks. That step is awkward and it is once per person, forever. After that, saving opens a pull request automatically.

The full walkthrough, including the fiddly parts, is in EDITING.md.

Fix or update an article

Security advice goes stale. If something here is wrong, out of date, or misleading, open a correction issue and say so — you do not have to fix it yourself, and you do not have to be certain.

For a typo or a broken link, the pencil icon on the file in GitHub is the fastest path.

Write something new

If you want to write an article, open an issue first and say what you have in mind. It saves you writing something we already have in draft.

Your rights

You keep the copyright in whatever you write. Opening a pull request grants us a licence to publish, modify and translate it as part of this site — nothing more, and nothing to sign. The exact terms are in CONTRIBUTING.md.

What each language is missing

Counts published articles. Anything already written but not yet published is shown as in progress, not as work to do.

The FAQ, services, classes and shop copy are translated inline and are not counted here.
