linux-soft-exploit-suggester:
  Search for Exploitable Software from package list.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  Package list file
  --clean               Use clean package list, if used 'dpkg-query -W'
  --duplicates          Show duplicate exploits
  --db DB               Exploits csv file [default: file.csv]
  --update              Download latest version of exploits db
  -d debian|redhat, --distro debian|redhat
                        Linux flavor, debian or redhat [default: debian]
  --dos                 Include DoS exploits
  --intense             Include intense package name search,
                        when software name doesn't match package name (experimental)
  -l 1-5, --level 1-5   Software version search variation [default: 1]                        
                          level 1: Same version                        
                          level 2: Micro and Patch version                        
                          level 3: Minor version                        
                          level 4: Major version                        
                          level 5: All versions
  --type TYPE           Exploit type; local, remote, webapps, dos.
                          e.g. --type local
                         --type remote
  --filter FILTER       Filter exploits by string
                          e.g. --filter "escalation"

usage examples:     
  Get Package List:
 debian/ubuntu: dpkg -l > package_list
 redhat/centos: rpm -qa > package_list

  Update exploit database:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --update

  Basic usage:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list

  Specify exploit db:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --db file.cve

  Use Redhat/Centos format file:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --distro redhat

  Search exploit for major version:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --level 4

  Filter by remote exploits:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --type remote

  Search specific words in exploit title:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --filter Overflow

  Advanced usage:
 python linux-soft-exploit-suggester.py --file package_list --level 3 --type local --filter escalation
