## Role

Template-based vulnerability scanning

## Why it's here

Thousands of community templates for known exposures. Point it at your own hosts and find what is misconfigured.

## Running it

This is a CLI tool, not a service. Build it from source or pull the official image and run it against your own systems.

```bash
./fetch-sources.sh ./sources
tar xzf ./sources/nuclei.tar.gz -C ./sources
```
