#### Searchsploit - Exploit Database Archive Search

Allows you to search through exploits and shellcodes using one or more terms from Exploit-DB.

The Exploit Database is an archive of public exploits and corresponding vulnerable software,
developed for use by penetration testers and vulnerability researchers. Its aim is to serve as the
most comprehensive collection of exploits, shellcode and papers gathered through direct
submissions, mailing lists, and other public sources, and present them in a freely-available and
easy-to-navigate database. The Exploit Database is a repository for exploits and Proof-of-Concepts
rather than advisories, making it a valuable resource for those who need actionable data right
away.
You can learn more about the project here:- <https://www.exploit-db.com/> and
here:- <https://www.exploit-db.com/history> (History).

Installation: `snap install searchsploit`

If you also need offline access to ExploitDB Papers via `searchsploit`, then install the papers with:-
`sudo snap install exploitdb-papers`
