  • Search for an exploit, shellcode, or paper:
    searchsploit search_terms
  • Search for a known specific version, e.g. sudo version 1.8.27:
    searchsploit sudo 1.8.27
  • Show the exploit-db link to the found resources:
    searchsploit --www search_terms
  • Make a copy of the resource to the current directory (requires the number of the exploit):
    searchsploit --mirror exploit_number
  • Open the resource to read with the pager defined in the `$PAGER` environment variable:
    searchsploit --explore exploit_number
  • Update the local exploit database:
    searchsploit --update
