node_searchsploit v1.0.1

node_searchsploit

A simple NodeJS wrapper/interface for the command-line utility "SearchSploit."

"searchsploit" is a command-line tool used in security audits. It enables the user to search a local copy of exploit-db.com and identify public exploits that can be used against vulnerable software packages.

node_searchsploit provides a simple NodeJS interface that wraps the searchsploit command-line utility and allows NodeJS programmers to easily execute searchsploit and handle the output within NodeJS.

For example, the following code is a simple usage showing the NodeJS equivalent of executing "searchsploit --json tomcat".

var Searchsploit = require('node_searchsploit');
Searchsploit('tomcat').then(function(result) {
  console.log(result.json.RESULTS_EXPLOIT);
})

Alternatively, you can pass searchsploit command line flags to the module as an array; for example, this shows a programmer utilizing the -s (strict) search parameter of searchsploit.

Searchsploit(['-s', 'Wordpress Core']).then(function(data) {
	console.log(data.json.RESULTS_EXPLOIT);
})
