5.1 Vulnerability Disclosure

We encourage responsible security research. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it via:

We commit to acknowledging reports within 48 hours and providing a timeline for remediation. Do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities before a fix is deployed.

5.2 No Warranty on Security

While we implement strong security measures (CSP, HSTS, SRI, client-side architecture), no system is completely secure. You use tools at your own risk. Verify outputs independently for security-critical applications.

5.3 Client-Side Architecture

Our tools run entirely in your browser. This means:

• Your data never leaves your device (except for optional analytics with consent)
• We cannot access, monitor, or control your tool usage
• Security of your browser environment is your responsibility
• Keep your browser, OS, and extensions updated

7.1 Account-Free Usage

DevStackIO requires no account. This means we cannot enforce per-user bans. Instead, we may:

• Block abusive IP ranges or ASNs
• Implement CAPTCHA or proof-of-work challenges
• Rate limit by fingerprint or behavioral patterns
• Restrict access to specific tools or features

7.2 Shared Responsibility

If you share access to DevStackIO (e.g., in a team, classroom, or organization), you are responsible for all use under your session. Ensure all users comply with this policy.

7.3 Educational and Research Use

Academic, educational, and security research use is permitted and encouraged. When using tools for vulnerability research, malware analysis, or security education:

• Clearly label research outputs
• Do not test on production systems without authorization
• Follow responsible disclosure practices
• Cite DevStackIO as the tool source in publications
