These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of KrakenProbe ("the Service"), a website security scanning tool. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
KrakenProbe provides automated, non-intrusive security scanning of publicly-accessible websites. The Service analyses publicly-available information including TLS certificates, HTTP response headers, DNS records, client-side JavaScript libraries, cookies, CORS configuration, mixed content, and subresource integrity.
Optionally, scan results may be analysed by an AI model (via OpenAI) to provide graded reports, prioritised remediation advice, and generated security policies.
You must sign in with a valid GitHub account to use the scanning features. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your GitHub account. We do not request access to your repositories, code, or any private GitHub data.
You may only create and use one account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. Specifically, you must not:
✕ Scan websites you do not own or have authorisation to test
✕ Use the Service to conduct denial-of-service attacks or flood targets with requests
✕ Attempt to circumvent rate limits, authentication, or other protective measures
✕ Use the Service to discover vulnerabilities for malicious exploitation
✕ Use automated tools or bots to interact with the Service beyond normal use
✕ Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
✕ Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit scan results without permission
KrakenProbe performs passive, non-intrusive scanning only. We do not attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, inject payloads, brute-force credentials, or access authenticated areas of any website. Our scans examine only publicly-available information that any web browser or network tool could observe.
Scan results and AI analysis are provided on an "as is" basis for informational purposes only. They do not constitute professional security advice, a penetration test, or a security audit. Results may contain inaccuracies, false positives, or false negatives.
You are solely responsible for any actions you take based on scan results, including implementing remediation suggestions. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified security professional before making changes to production systems.
AI analysis, grades, remediation advice, CSP policies, and generated prompts are produced by large language models and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for your specific environment. AI-generated output should be reviewed by a qualified person before implementation.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any AI-generated content. The "Copy AI Prompt" feature generates prompts intended for use with third-party AI services. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.
The Service enforces rate limits to ensure fair access and prevent abuse. Current limits are 20 scans per hour and 10 AI analyses per hour per user. These limits may change at any time without notice. Attempting to circumvent rate limits may result in temporary or permanent suspension.
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uptime. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, hosting issues, or factors beyond our control.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
The KrakenProbe name, logo, design, and source code are our property. You may not use our branding without written permission.
Scan results and AI reports generated for your websites are yours to use as you see fit, including sharing with your team, clients, or stakeholders.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, KrakenProbe and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business, or goodwill, arising from:
• Your use of, or inability to use, the Service
• Any inaccuracies in scan results or AI analysis
• Actions taken based on remediation suggestions
• Unauthorised access to or alteration of your data
• Service interruptions or unavailability
The Service is provided free of charge. In any event, our total liability shall not exceed €0.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KrakenProbe and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights, including scanning websites without proper authorisation.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of KrakenProbe after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
