searchsploit --www search_terms

• Copy (mirror) the resource to the current directory (requires the number of the exploit):

searchsploit --mirror exploit_number

• E[x]amine the resource, using the pager defined in the $PAGER environment variable:

searchsploit --examine exploit_number

• update the local Exploit Database:

searchsploit --update

• Search for the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) value:

searchsploit --cve 2021-44228

searchsploit --nmap path/to/nmap-output.xml
