Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited. Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target: 1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource. 2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope. 3.
