Terms and Conditions

2. Educational purpose

The Website provides general educational and informational content about cybersecurity, adversary emulation, defensive validation, open-source tools, and related technologies. It does not provide official product support, legal advice, compliance certification, a penetration-testing authorization, or a guarantee that a particular security control is effective.

Security information changes quickly. You are responsible for checking current official documentation, release notes, advisories, licenses, and organisational policies before acting on anything published here.

3. Authorized and responsible use

You agree not to use the Website or its content to:

• Access, scan, disrupt, damage, or test systems without the owner’s explicit authorization.
• Deploy malware, steal credentials, evade lawful controls, exfiltrate data, or conceal unauthorized activity.
• Interfere with the Website, overwhelm its infrastructure, bypass security measures, scrape it abusively, or introduce malicious code.
• Violate privacy, intellectual-property, export-control, computer-misuse, communications, or other applicable laws.
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, authority, findings, or the source of Website content.
• Use information in a way that creates unreasonable risk to individuals, organisations, or public infrastructure.

Before conducting a security exercise, establish written scope, rules of engagement, approved targets, excluded systems, testing windows, escalation contacts, data-handling rules, monitoring requirements, and recovery procedures.

4. Website content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the original design, selection, arrangement, and editorial content published on the Website are owned by or licensed to the Website operator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may access and print a reasonable portion for personal, non-commercial learning, provided that you retain notices and do not misrepresent the source.

You may not republish complete articles, create a competing archive, remove attribution, sell access to Website content, or use automated systems to copy substantial portions without prior written permission. Short quotations for commentary, criticism, research, or news reporting may be permitted by applicable law when accompanied by clear attribution and a link to the source.

Source code, commands, screenshots, documentation excerpts, logos, and other third-party materials remain subject to the rights and licenses of their respective owners. Nothing in these terms changes an applicable open-source license.

5. Trademarks and no affiliation

“MITRE,” “MITRE ATT&CK,” “ATT&CK,” “Caldera,” “Apache,” and associated names, logos, and marks are the property of their respective owners. References are used for identification and commentary. You may not use Website branding or third-party marks in a manner that implies sponsorship, certification, or official status.

6. Messages, feedback, and submissions

If you send feedback, correction suggestions, or other non-confidential material, you grant the Website operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, adapt, and publish that material for site operation and improvement. This does not transfer ownership of your pre-existing work.

You represent that you have the right to submit the material and that it does not contain unlawful, defamatory, confidential, infringing, malicious, or privacy-violating content. Do not send trade secrets, credentials, personal datasets, or live exploit material. We may review, refuse, remove, or preserve submissions as reasonably necessary for security, moderation, or legal compliance.

7. Third-party resources

The Website may link to repositories, documentation, vendors, communities, research, or other third-party resources for convenience. We do not control their content, security, availability, licenses, privacy practices, or future changes. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

You are responsible for evaluating third-party terms, licenses, authenticity, checksums, security advisories, and privacy notices before downloading software, creating an account, sharing information, or running code.

8. Availability and changes

We may add, modify, suspend, or remove Website features or content at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with a particular device, or preservation of any URL. Maintenance, provider issues, cyber incidents, legal requirements, or other events may interrupt access.

We may correct errors without notice and are not obligated to update every historical page. An “updated” date indicates an editorial review; it does not guarantee that every external link or referenced product remains unchanged.

9. No warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We disclaim implied warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, security, and uninterrupted availability.

We do not warrant that instructions will work in every environment, that code is free of defects, that a security exercise will not cause disruption, or that following an article will satisfy any contractual, regulatory, audit, or professional requirement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website operator and its contributors, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of data, revenue, profit, opportunity, reputation, or business continuity; or claims arising from your use of or inability to use the Website, third-party resources, or any security tool or procedure.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it will be limited to the minimum amount permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Website operator and its contributors and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Website, breach of these terms, infringement of a third party’s rights, or misuse of cybersecurity information.

12. Suspension and enforcement

We may restrict or block access, reject submissions, preserve relevant records, or report conduct to service providers or lawful authorities when we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the Website, investigate abuse, comply with law, or enforce these terms. These remedies are in addition to any others available by law.

13. Applicable law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws that apply to the Website operator, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection rules require otherwise. Before beginning formal proceedings, you agree to contact us and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights under these terms without permission; we may assign these terms in connection with a lawful transfer of Website operations.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes in the Website, law, risk, or business practices. Revised terms become effective when posted with an updated date unless a later date is stated. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised terms.
