Hey Folks, in this tutorial we are going to talk about the SearchSploit tool. This tool is specially designed for CTF players, where they can easily find the exploits with the command line.

SearchSploit

Searchsploit is a (CLI) tool for find the exploits, which also allows you to bring a copy of Exploit-DB with you. SearchSploit provides you with the ability to perform detailed offline searches in locally saved repositories. Many vulnerabilities contain links to binary files that are not included in the standard repository but can be found in our Exploit-DB binaries.
