Nuclei is an advanced, open-source vulnerability scanner that has gained significant popularity among cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers and developers.
It’s open-source, highly customizable, and delivers the kind of accuracy that most scanners can only dream of.
Nuclei tackled several limitations of traditional scanners: speed, accuracy, flexibility, and update frequency.
Nuclei's concurrent scanning capabilities allow it to process multiple targets simultaneously, significantly reducing scan times.
Creating effective custom templates requires understanding of both the target systems and Nuclei's template syntax.
While fast, Nuclei can be resource-intensive when scanning large networks or using many templates simultaneously.
The hacker creates two custom templates to further investigate potential SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities.
Nuclei represents a significant leap forward in vulnerability scanning technology.
