2. Description of Service

FullMetalScan is a vulnerability scanning service that helps identify potential security vulnerabilities in domains and IP addresses by checking against known CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) databases. The Service includes automated scanning tools, vulnerability reports, and related features as described on our website.

3. Authorization Requirement - IMPORTANT

CRITICAL: You must only scan targets (domains, IP addresses, servers) that you own or have explicit written authorization to scan. Unauthorized scanning is illegal in most jurisdictions.

By using this Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the legal owner of each target you scan, OR
  • You have obtained explicit written authorization from the legal owner to perform security scans
  • Your use complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction

You are solely responsible for ensuring proper authorization. FullMetalScan is not responsible for any legal consequences arising from unauthorized use of the Service.

4. Verification Process

Before scanning any target, you must complete our verification process to prove ownership or authorization. Verification methods include:

  • DNS TXT Record: Adding a verification code to your domain's DNS records
  • HTTP File: Placing a verification file on your web server

Attempting to bypass verification, falsify ownership, or use the Service to scan unauthorized targets constitutes a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination and legal action.
