# HoundSploit
Author: Nicolas Carolo
Copyright: © 2021, Nicolas Carolo.
Date: 2021-11-26
Version: 2.8.0
## PURPOSE
_HoundSploit_ is an advanced search engine for Exploit-DB developed in
Python using Flask as micro web framework, born with the aim of showing the user
the most accurate search results.
### Features
* Effective version number filtering
* Advanced filtering
* Sort by date and description
* Fast search
* Search suggestions with customization
* Syntax highlighting of the source code of exploits and shellcodes
* Downloading of the source code of exploits and shellcodes
* Highlighting of searched words in search results
* Bookmarks
* Fix of exploit and shellcode dates
* Check for updates (both for software and database)
#### New features in HoundSploit 2
* Flask instead of Django
* SQLAlchemy instead of Django ORM
* The kernel of the search engine is the same used in [_hsploit_](https://github.com/nicolas-carolo/hsploit), which is the CLI version of HoundSploit
* Dark and Light themes
#### Effective version number filtering examples
##### Example I
11 exploits and 0 shellcodes found for "WordPress Core 2.0.2"
##### Example II
16 exploits and 0 shellcodes found for "Linux Kernel 4.2.3"
#### Advanced filtering
Using advanced search you can use the following filters for filtering search
results:
* Search operator: `AND` or `OR`
* Author
* Type
* Platform
* Port
* Date interval
#### Search suggestion
You can choose to show a particular suggestion for a given searched string.
For each case you can also decide to use automatic replacement or not.
It is possible to add new suggestions and delete the existing suggestions.
#### Bookmarks
You can add exploits and shellcodes to bookmarks and filter them using the searchbox.
#### Customization
You can choose to use:
* The Light or the Dark theme
* The original ExploitDB database or the ExploitDB database with dates fix.
