The command "searchsploit" is used to search for and locate known exploits or vulnerabilities in software. It is a command-line utility commonly used in penetration testing and security research.
The "--explore" option is used to explore and view the details of a specific exploit in more depth. When used with the "searchsploit" command, it allows you to examine the details, description, and other information about a particular exploit.
"${exploit_number}" is a placeholder in the command, where you should replace it with the actual exploit number that you want to explore. Each exploit in the searchsploit database has a unique number assigned to it, which indicates its position in the search results.
By providing the exploit number with the "--explore" option, you can access a detailed view of that specific exploit, including its title, author, affected software, vulnerability description, code, references, and other relevant information.
Overall, the command "searchsploit --explore ${exploit_number}" allows you to explore and research a particular exploit in order to better understand its impact, usage, and countermeasures.
