SmokedMeat is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3).
You are free to use, modify, and distribute SmokedMeat under the terms of the AGPLv3. If you modify SmokedMeat and make it available over a network, you must make your modified source code available under the same license.
SmokedMeat follows an open core model. The core framework - including the engine, protocol, agent logic, built-in techniques, rule evaluation engine, and plugin interfaces - is open source under AGPLv3.
Commercial extensions are developed and distributed separately by BoostSecurity under a proprietary license. These may include:
- Advanced exploitation technique packs
- AI-assisted validation and false positive reduction
- Enterprise management, reporting, and collaboration features
- Curated rule packs and integrations with commercial platforms
Commercial extensions are not part of this repository and are not covered by the AGPLv3. They are available separately from boostsecurity.io.
All contributions to this repository require signing our Contributor License Agreement (CLA). The CLA grants BoostSecurity a non-exclusive license to use your contributions in both the open source project and our commercial offerings. You retain full ownership of your contributions.
