searchsploit: Search for an exploit, shellcode, or paper.

searchsploit

$ searchsploit ${search_terms}

try on your machine

The command "searchsploit" allows you to search for exploits and vulnerabilities in a local database maintained by the tool called "Exploit Database" (EDB).

The format "${search_terms}" indicates that you need to replace "${search_terms}" with the actual terms or keywords you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for exploits related to the Apache web server, you would replace "${search_terms}" with "apache".

So, when you execute the command "searchsploit ${search_terms}", it will search the local Exploit Database for any exploits or vulnerabilities related to the specified search terms and display the results on the command line. This command helps in identifying potential security weaknesses in software systems by searching for known exploits that can be leveraged to compromise them.
