The official Exploit Database repository
This is an official repository of The Exploit Database, a project sponsored by Offensive Security. Our repositories are:
The Exploit Database is an archive of public exploits and corresponding vulnerable software, developed for use by penetration testers and vulnerability researchers. Its aim is to serve as the most comprehensive collection of exploits, shellcode and papers gathered through direct submissions, mailing lists, and other public sources, and present them in a freely-available and easy-to-navigate database. The Exploit Database is a repository for exploits and Proof-of-Concepts rather than advisories, making it a valuable resource for those who need actionable data right away. You can learn more about the project here (Top Right -> About Exploit-DB) and here (History).
This repository is updated daily with the most recently added submissions. Any additional resources can be found in our binary exploits repository.
/exploits/directory, shellcodes can be found in the
/shellcodes/directory.
This project (and SearchSploit) is released under "GNU General Public License v2.0".
Included with this repository is the SearchSploit utility, which will allow you to search through exploits, shellcodes and papers (if installed) using one or more terms. For more information, please see the SearchSploit manual.

========= Options =========
Search Terms
-c, --case [Term] Perform a case-sensitive search (Default is inSEnsITiVe) -e, --exact [Term] Perform an EXACT & order match on exploit title (Default is an AND match on each term) [Implies "-t"] e.g. "WordPress 4.1" would not be detect "WordPress Core 4.1") -s, --strict Perform a strict search, so input values must exist, disabling fuzzy search for version range e.g. "1.1" would not be detected in "1.0 < 1.3") -t, --title [Term] Search JUST the exploit title (Default is title AND the file's path) --exclude="term" Remove values from results. By using "|" to separate, you can chain multiple values e.g. --exclude="term1|term2|term3"
Output
-j, --json [Term] Show result in JSON format -o, --overflow [Term] Exploit titles are allowed to overflow their columns -p, --path [EDB-ID] Show the full path to an exploit (and also copies the path to the clipboard if possible) -v, --verbose Display more information in output -w, --www [Term] Show URLs to Exploit-DB.com rather than the local path --id Display the EDB-ID value rather than local path --colour Disable colour highlighting in search results
Non-Searching
-m, --mirror [EDB-ID] Mirror (aka copies) an exploit to the current working directory -x, --examine [EDB-ID] Examine (aka opens) the exploit using $PAGER
Non-Searching
-h, --help Show this help screen -u, --update Check for and install any exploitdb package updates (brew, deb & git)
Automation
--nmap [file.xml] Checks all results in Nmap's XML output with service version e.g.: nmap [host] -sV -oX file.xml

SearchSploit requires either "CoreUtils" or "utilities" (e.g.
bash,
sed,
grep,
awk, etc.) for the core features to work. The self updating function will require
git, and for the Nmap XML option to work, will require
xmllint(found in the
libxml2-utilspackage in Debian-based systems).
You can find a more in-depth guide in the SearchSploit manual.
Kali Linux
Exploit-DB/SearchSploit is already packaged inside of Kali-Linux. A method of installation is:
[email protected]:~$ sudo apt -y install exploitdb
NOTE: Optional is to install the additional packages:
[email protected]:~$ sudo apt -y install exploitdb-bin-sploits exploitdb-papers
Git
In short: clone the repository, add the binary into
$PATH, and edit the config file to reflect the git path:
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/offensive-security/exploitdb.git /opt/exploitdb $ sudo ln -sf /opt/exploitdb/searchsploit /usr/local/bin/searchsploit
Homebrew
If you have homebrew (package, formula) installed, running the following will get you set up:
[email protected]:~$ brew update && brew install exploitdb
