Scope and ethics

What this tool is for, what it is not for, and the rules that keep replay safe and honest.

Exploitmatic is an offensive-security tool. It replays attack techniques against targets. Use it only against systems you own or are authorized to test.

Replica workflow

The workflow has two stages: refine the solution against a local replica of the vulnerable surface, then verify against an authorized target. A result from a replica is a hypothesis refinement. A result from an authorized target is a finding.

Host scope

Host-level steps (process, file) reach into the operator’s own host. They are not gated: the runtime runs on your machine because you started it. A sandboxed scanner cannot reach this scope at all.

Honest findings

The runtime prints what was sent and received; it does not claim a target is secure. The wording is “verified against corpus”, never “secure”. Solutions stay deterministic where possible, with honest reproducibility stats for probabilistic solutions, never a false finding.

License

The runtime is AGPL-3.0, with a commercial license available. For commercial talks or any other inquiry, email [email protected]. The attack solutions (.txt files) in the exploitmatic/solutions repository are Apache-2.0.

Write attacks down. Verify them.

Download the binary, point it at a target you own, and get a verified result. The corpus is open and the format is plain text.
