#### 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:- and
here:- (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`

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Searchsploit
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.
### Enable snapd
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```
Leap 15.x:
```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```
If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:
```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```
Snap can now be installed with the following:
```
sudo zypper install snapd
```
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:
```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
