No accounts, no tracking, no analytics
SecArsenal is a static site with no backend, no user accounts, no cookies, and no analytics or advertising trackers of any kind. We don't know who you are, and we have no way to identify you across visits or devices.
What's stored in your browser
The site writes exactly three entries to your browser's ownlocalStorage, never to a server, and never anywhere we can see them:
sa_disclaimer_ack_v1— remembers that you dismissed the first-visit notice, so it isn't shown again.
sa_category_visits— a running count of which tool categories you've viewed, used only to reorder the homepage's "top categories" widget toward what you actually browse.
sa_a11y_prefs_v1— which accessibility panel toggles you've turned on (larger text, extra spacing, high contrast, and similar), so they stay applied on your next visit.
All three are readable and erasable like any other site data in your browser's settings, and clearing them just resets the site to its default, unpersonalized state. See the disclaimer for how the first entry is used, and SECURITY.md for the technical detail.
Third-party links
Every tool and OS page links out to that project's own official site. Those are independent, third-party destinations with their own privacy practices — this policy covers only SecArsenal itself.
Hosting
SecArsenal is served as static files. Whatever infrastructure hosts it may keep standard web server access logs (IP address, requested URL, timestamp) for operational and security purposes — that's true of essentially any web host and isn't something this site adds on top of. We don't use those logs for tracking, and we don't combine them with any other data.
SecArsenal is an independent, educational reference. It does not host, distribute, or provide exploit code — only descriptions of, and links to, publicly available third-party tools and operating systems.
By continuing, you acknowledge that you will only use the tools and techniques referenced on this site against systems, networks, or accounts you own or are explicitly authorized to test; that unauthorized access to computer systems may be illegal in your jurisdiction; and that all information is provided "as is," and that SecArsenal and its contributors assume no liability for how it is used.
These change how this site looks and behaves in your browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere — your choices are saved on this device.
Larger text
Increases text size across the site by ~20%.
Extra spacing
Looser line, letter, and paragraph spacing in article text.
High contrast
Brighter muted text and borders, no decorative textures.
Always underline links
Identifies links by more than color alone.
Strong focus outline
A thicker, higher-contrast outline for keyboard navigation.
Reduce motion
Turns off hover/focus transitions, regardless of OS settings.
These toggles are a first-party enhancement layered on top of markup we build to follow WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidance — they are not a substitute for accessible design, and we have not undergone a formal third-party compliance audit, so we don't claim full conformance. If you hit a real accessibility barrier anywhere on this site, please open an issue — we'd rather hear about it than have this panel stand in for fixing it.
