⚠️ IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE

W.A.D.U.H. Scanner is designed exclusively for authorized security testing and research purposes.

You MUST:

  • Have explicit written permission from the system owner before scanning any target
  • Operate within the scope of your authorization
  • Follow responsible disclosure practices
  • Comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws

You MUST NOT:

  • Scan systems without authorization
  • Exploit vulnerabilities on production systems
  • Use this tool for malicious purposes
  • Share or publish sensitive findings without permission

AI Data Handling

WADUH v4.0 includes AI-powered analysis. When using cloud AI providers:

  • Local AI (Ollama/LM Studio): No data leaves your machine. Recommended for sensitive engagements.
  • Cloud AI (OpenAI/Anthropic/Groq): Target-identifying information (IPs, URLs, emails, API keys) is automatically sanitized before submission. However, vulnerability details are sent for analysis.
  • Recommendation: Use --ai-provider ollama for maximum OPSEC, or --no-ai to disable AI entirely.
