searchsploit Usage Patterns

# Text search in title/path
searchsploit apache 2.4

# Search by CVE
searchsploit --cve CVE-2021-41773
searchsploit --cve CVE-2021-44228

# JSON output for scripting
searchsploit apache --json | python3 -c "
import sys, json
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for e in data.get('RESULTS_EXPLOIT', []):
    print(e['EDB-ID'], e['Title'], e['Path'])
"

# Copy exploit to working dir
searchsploit -m 50383

# Update database
searchsploit -u

# Search by nmap XML output
searchsploit --nmap nmap_output.xml

# Filter by type (webapps, local, remote, dos)
searchsploit -t "remote" apache

# Search for specific OS
searchsploit windows 10 privilege escalation

# Show only exploits (not shellcodes/papers)
searchsploit wordpress --www-exploit-db

PoC Reliability Rubric

| Level | Label | Criteria | Action | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | **Weaponized** | Works out-of-box against target version, produces shell/access reliably | Test directly; log as `CONFIRMED` | | 2 | **Functional** | Requires minor adaptation (change URL, adjust offset) | Modify per target; log as `VERIFIED` | | 3 | **DoS-only** | Crashes service but no code exec | Confirm version, log as `CONFIRMED-DOS` | | 4 | **Theoretical** | Academic writeup, no working code | Write PoC fro
