Use this when you need to map a service version to public exploit code fast. ### Basic search ```bash searchsploit openssh 7.2 searchsploit smb ms17-010 searchsploit vsftpd 3.0.3 ``` ### Title-only output ```bash searchsploit -t openssh ``` ### Exact match search ```bash searchsploit -e "Windows SMB" ``` ### View the exploit file ```bash searchsploit -x linux/remote/45233.py ``` ### Copy the exploit locally ```bash searchsploit -m linux/remote/45233.py ``` ### JSON output ```bash searchsploit -j openssh 7.2 ``` ### Map Nmap XML to known exploits ```bash searchsploit --nmap scan.xml ``` ### Common workflow ```bash nmap -sV -sC -p- searchsploit searchsploit -x searchsploit -m ``` ### Reminder * Match the service and version first. * Read the exploit before running it. * Prefer `check` or safe verification when available. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://capcap-1.gitbook.io/capcap/readme/cheat-sheets/searchsploit.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
