Infrastructure Security

How our servers, networks, and code stay safe from attacks.

Most members never see this layer of security, but it runs around the clock to keep RateAds online and safe.

Hardened Servers

Our servers run on a small, audited base image. They have minimal services and strict firewalls. Only the people who need access can reach them, and access is logged.

Encrypted Networks

All traffic between our services is encrypted. Database links, internal APIs, and admin tools all use mutual TLS. There is no plain-text traffic between parts of our system.

Continuous Testing

We run automatic security scans on every code change. We hire outside firms for full audits twice a year. Top auditors join our public bug bounty program.

Quick tips

  • Read our security page for details on our setup.
  • Submit issues through our bug bounty form.
  • Trust the security email patterns we use.
  • Reach out if you think you found a vulnerability.
