AnyScan About, policy, and owner workflows
Below the fold

Everything else, condensed

Policy, identity, data handling, and disclosure details are still here, just compressed into quick-linked cards.

Scanning policy

Observational-only public posture

The public-facing scanner is intended to measure exposed services and metadata without creating, updating, deleting, or authenticating into target systems.

  • No login attempts, brute-force behavior, or authenticated entry paths.
  • No create, update, delete, or other state-changing interactions.
  • Measurement is constrained by explicit throttles and host-level backoff.
  • Owners can claim assets, request opt-out, or file abuse reports below.

Data policy

Public scope and retention

Only operator-reviewed public disclosures belong in this surface. Raw internal evidence, reviewer notes, worker state, and orchestration data remain private.

Disclosure

Contact and trust surface

Use the published contacts for remediation, abuse escalation, and owner verification. The machine-readable trust surface is also exposed through security.txt.

Machine-readable path: /.well-known/security.txt

Owner workflows

Open a panel only when you need it

Claim ownership, request opt-out, or file an abuse report without wading through a wall of forms.

Claim ownership Verify control of a domain, IP, or CIDR.

`dns_txt` checks for an exact token in a TXT record on the claimed domain. `http_file` checks for the token at /.well-known/anyscan-verification.txt on the claimed host. `email` and `manual_review` are recorded for operator review.

Request opt-out Ask for public measurement to stop after verification.

Automated verification is available for `dns_txt` and `http_file`. Email-based requests are accepted, but ownership still needs manual operator confirmation before the workflow can be marked verified.

Report abuse or complaints Escalate urgent issues tied to measurement behavior.
