What is the use of the hackers.txt file?

The way I see things:

  • robots.txt contains information and instructions for robots (so it should be read/used by web crawlers, spiders and other kind of bots)
  • humans.txt contains useful information to be consumed by humans, according to http://humanstxt.org/
  • hackers.txt should be targeted towards hackers, so it should contain any information the site owner might want to transmit to a hacker, as Ze’ev pointed out. I don’t think this should be a place for hackers to write anything, but rather to get information from the site owner (perhaps on how to report vulnerabilities, as others suggested).
