The legacy GitHub repository of the Exploit Database, an archive of public exploits, shellcode, and the Google Hacking Database (GHDB). This mirror is no longer updated; the official repository now lives on GitLab.
Use cases
- search for public exploits for a CVE
- download proof-of-concept exploit code for penetration testing
- browse shellcode archives
- look up Google dorks in the GHDB
- mirror the exploit database locally for offline use
When to choose
- you need a historical snapshot of the Exploit Database archive
- you want to reference the legacy GitHub mirror
When to avoid
- you want current exploit data - use the official GitLab repository instead
- you need a maintained tool rather than a data archive
