AUP statement (exact): "I will only test systems I own or have written permission to test." Acceptance via recon-guard --accept-use → /etc/testbench/acceptable_use_accepted (0600) with accepted_at, statement, statement_sha256. Active audit log: /etc/testbench/audit.log (0600), line format "<ISO UTC> operator= tool= targets=". Block active tools until acceptance file exists.

Last checked Template updated
An ethical recon assistant that helps you map and test the attack surface of systems you own, using free open-source tools. Passive OSINT runs right away. Active scans run only after you accept an acceptable-use statement and sign a scope and authorization file.
Query this catalog from Claude, Cursor, or Grok via MCP.
