If you utilize GitHub releases it is possible to implement a simpler update process. Inside of the findsploit bashfile allow the use of an option something like -u which will query the GitHub api for the latest release tag.

Then compare this release version to the current version if the latest release is greater then, it should ask the user if they want to update. If they say yes it can clone the repository to a temp directory, git checkout to the newsest stable release, run your install script and then remove the temperary directory.

I did something similar for a bash script I wrote. I looked into your code and it seems like it shouldn't be to bad to implement since you don't seem to use the bash options at all so it wouldn't change old functionality.

If im not making sense I'd love to explain further or possibly implement a version of it into your code.

Right now install.sh uses apt-get to install dependencies which is not supported by OSX.

findsploit code has firefox as default browser. For avoiding a user having another browser should install also Firefox, you can replace those BROWSER_CMD by xdg-open. In this manner, you can make Findsploit compatible with all browsers.

Under what license is this software available? We want to cover the tool, but can't find it.

Thanks!

I get the following error twice when running the "search online" function at the end of the script on Kali 1.10, iceweasel as browser:

Any ideas what this could be?

When tried to run the script I got the error /usr/share/exploitdb/searchsploit Not found
It seems like searchsploit has changed its path to /usr/bin/searchsploit

Hi, I used ur system for compiling exploit.

I confronted error above.. Please help me, What should I do?

By default $BROWSER_CMD= should be set to xdg-open, instead of iceweasel. On most desktops this will open the configured web browser

Not an issue, just want to know is it necessary when there is already the "Searchsploit" from ExploitDB, or did you make "Findsploit" so that you only pull exploit you need instead of having everything locally ?

Just out of curiosity i tried : 'searchsploit wps 3' and 'findsploit wps 3', and i found 11 "ExploitDB" exploits,
and comparing against findsploit which was 11 "ExploitDB" exploits and 1 "Metasploit Exploits", i thought maybe there is more to it than just being a copy of "Searchsploit", so if you don't mind explaining ?

Thanks for all the works.

I used the Pentest Framework to install/manage my utilities. So my searchploit script is installed in /pentest/exploitation/exploit-db/searchsploit, therefore Findsploit's update fails because it is looking for it in /usr/bin/searchsploit. I tried symlinking but it complained about that as well. Is there a way around this without changing the source code?
