Cerberus ("Cerberus," "we," "us," or "our") is a website security scanner and a product of CTF Designs. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of cerberusscan.com, cerberusscan.app, and the Cerberus scanning service (together, the "Service"). By using the Service or submitting a website to be scanned, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Cerberus inspects a website and reports what an attacker could find, so it can be fixed first. It works in three parts: The Surface (publicly visible exposure such as leaked keys, missing security headers, and open configuration), The Hunt (deeper, active/intrusive testing), and The Health (speed and build quality). Findings are our opinion at a single point in time and may be produced in part using automated, industry-standard tools.
You may only scan a website that you own or that you are explicitly authorized to test. Scanning systems without authorization may violate law, including the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030) and California Penal Code § 502.
By submitting a URL, you represent and warrant that you are the owner of that website or have obtained the owner's explicit permission to have it scanned.
Active or intrusive testing ("The Hunt") is performed only after we receive the site owner's signed written authorization. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to authorize any scan you request, and for all use of the Service under your direction.
Reports are provided for your information. If Cerberus finds problems, CTF Designs may offer to fix or rebuild your website under a separate written agreement. Requesting or receiving a scan does not create a client relationship until such an agreement is signed.
You agree not to: submit websites you are not authorized to scan; use the Service for any unlawful purpose; attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service; or submit false or misleading information. We may suspend or refuse access for any suspected misuse.
The Service, including the Cerberus name, branding, and software, is owned by or licensed to CTF Designs and may not be copied or reused without permission. Reports we generate for you are yours to use for securing your own site.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CTF Designs and Cerberus are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service, from any scan, or from any breach or security incident. Any remediation work is governed solely by its own separate written agreement.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CTF Designs and Cerberus from any claims, damages, or costs arising out of your use of the Service, including any scan you request or authorize without proper authority, or any violation of law or of these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and any disputes will be handled in Riverside County, California.
