Searchsploit

SearchSploit is a powerful command-line utility that is part of the Exploit Database (Exploit-DB) toolkit, specifically designed to facilitate the quick and easy search of exploits. It's an invaluable resource for penetration testers, security researchers, and ethical hackers looking to identify known vulnerabilities within specific software versions. By querying a local copy of the Exploit Database, SearchSploit allows users to locate relevant exploits, shellcodes, and proof-of-concept (PoC) code without needing internet access. This tool supports advanced search options, enabling users to filter results by platform, type, and even specific CVE identifiers.
