Terms of Service
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before installing pasax-sentinel, incorporating pasax/shield, or using the Pasax Cloud SOC dashboard. By accessing or operating any part of our ecosystem, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Pasax is strictly designed for defensive threat mitigation, server hardening, and authorized audit environments.
Core daemons and WAF libraries are 100% open source and verifiable on GitHub under the permissive MIT license.
Deploying kernel-level daemon tools requires elevated Linux permissions under your own administrative control.
Agreement & Acceptance
By creating an account on https://pasax.is-a.dev, obtaining an API token, or installing the pasax-sentinel daemon onto any virtual private server (VPS) or bare-metal host, you represent that:
- You have legal authority to administer and deploy security monitoring on the target machines.
- You are at least 18 years of age or possess legal capacity in your jurisdiction.
- You will use the suite strictly in accordance with these Terms and all applicable cybercrime, privacy, and data security laws.
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Pasax Security provides high-speed packet inspection (nftables), honeypot instrumentation, and inotify File Integrity Monitoring. You agree NOT to:
- Deploying Pasax on hosts, cloud instances, or networks for which you do not possess verified ownership or express written authorization.
- Using Pasax telemetry endpoints to launch denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, flood reputation feeds, or poison global threat blocklists.
- Attempting to spoof node identity tokens or intercept mTLS telemetry from neighboring nodes.
- Circumventing security controls, rate-limiting thresholds, or abuse protections implemented by the Pasax Cloud API.
Root & Kernel-Level Privileges
Because pasax-sentinel interacts with raw Linux kernel subsystems (specifically nftables packet filtering and inotify file system hooks), it operates as a privileged systemd service.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for reviewing firewall rule definitions before enabling automated drop thresholds.
- Pasax provides automated safeguards (such as automatic SSH port exemption and whitelist fallbacks) to prevent administrative lockouts, but you remain responsible for maintaining console or out-of-band access to your VPS.
Open Source Licensing vs. Cloud Services
The Pasax software ecosystem consists of two distinct tiers:
Sentinel & Shield Packages
The source code of pasax-sentinel and pasax/shield is freely available under the MIT License. You may modify, fork, and distribute it in compliance with the MIT copyright notice.
Pasax Cloud SOC Platform
The hosted community cloud dashboard, 3D threat map visualization, and real-time mesh routing infrastructure are provided to the developer community under fair-use quotas.
Disclaimer of Warranties
PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Pasax software suite and Cloud SOC platform are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or error-free operation.
While Pasax implements autonomous sub-0.2ms drops and instant FIM file locks, no security solution can guarantee 100% immunity against novel zero-day exploits, physical host breaches, or upstream ISP disruptions.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall the authors, maintainers, or Pasax Security team be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including loss of profits, data corruption, business interruption, or server downtime) arising in any way out of the use or inability to use this software.
Modifications & Contact
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When updates are published, the "Last updated" date at the top of this document will be amended. Your continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
