BlackSec Agent FAQ
Licensing, integrity, telemetry, updates and support. Anything not covered here is usually answered in the documentation, and the authoritative licence text lives at Installer License.
What is BlackSec Agent?
BlackSec Agent is the native Windows desktop client for this platform. It gives you multi-model chat, an Interactive AI Browser tool, a plugin system, and per-request usage telemetry, and it talks to the same OpenAI-compatible gateway your API keys already use.
Is BlackSec Agent open source?
No. BlackSec Agent is a private, closed-source product. There is no public repository and no source distribution — the installer is published exclusively from this site. The application does bundle open-source components such as Electron and Chromium; those licences and their full attribution ship inside the installation (for example LICENSES.chromium.html) and apply to those components independently of the Installer License.
Which platforms are supported?
The currently published release targets Windows x64 (Windows 10 and 11). The release feed is platform-aware, so the download endpoint is queried with an explicit platform, architecture and channel rather than assuming one build.
How much does the agent cost?
The installer itself is free. You need a BlackSec account, and model usage is billed through the platform plan your account is on — see the pricing page for current plans. The Installer License is a free, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence that holds while your account is in good standing.
How do I verify that my download is authentic?
Every build is published with a SHA-256 digest in the download section. In PowerShell, run Get-FileHash .\BlackSecAgent-Setup-<version>-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256 and compare the result character-for-character with the published digest. If they differ, delete the file and download it again — do not run it.
Where does the agent install?
By default the installer places the application in %LOCALAPPDATA%\BlackSec\Agent. Application data such as settings, session cache and logs is also kept locally on your machine.
Do I need Node.js installed?
Only if you want to use plugins. The agent itself has no Node.js dependency; Node.js 18 or newer is listed as a recommendation for the plugin system.
How does the agent authenticate?
You sign in with your BlackSec account, or you can configure a custom API provider. Your session token is held in memory and in the operating system credential store — the installer and the application do not write it to disk in plaintext.
Does the agent update itself?
Yes. It checks this site for new releases and can update itself in place. Update packages are verified by cryptographic hash before they are applied, and a failed verification aborts the update rather than installing unverified code. Updates may change, fix or remove features; continuing to use the software after an update means accepting the updated software under the same licence.
What data does the agent send to BlackSec?
It contacts this site's API to authenticate you, stream completions, check for updates, and record usage telemetry — model, token counts and latency. Its working data (settings, session cache, logs) stays on your machine. This is the same telemetry described in the Privacy Policy.
Can I install it on more than one machine?
Yes. The licence permits installation and use on any number of machines that you own or control, provided each instance connects through your own account.
May I redistribute or repackage the installer?
No. Redistributing, reselling or repackaging the installer outside the official distribution channel on this site is not permitted. You also may not modify the software or installer to misrepresent its origin, or strip or bypass its integrity verification.
Does the agent filter or censor model output?
No. It is an uncensored client: it does not filter, judge or editorialise model output. That places the responsibility on you — review, test and validate anything a model produces before you run, ship or act on it, and make sure you hold authorisation for every system you point the agent at.
How do I uninstall it?
Use the uninstall entry the installer registers with Windows, or remove it from Settings → Apps. Recent releases ship a native themed uninstall experience rather than a bare script.
The installer will not run — what should I check?
First confirm the SHA-256 digest matches the published value; a mismatch means a corrupted or tampered download and you should re-download rather than troubleshoot further. Then confirm you are on Windows x64. If both check out and it still fails, reach the team on Telegram with your version and the exact error.
Where do I get support?
The platform team is reachable on Telegram for installation, licensing and integration questions. Signed-in users can also open a ticket from the support area of the dashboard.
