Nuclei

Fast vulnerability scanner powered by YAML templates

About Nuclei

Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner that runs community-written YAML templates to check hosts for known issues quickly and accurately. It runs on your own server or home hardware, so your data stays under your control instead of depending on a third-party cloud service. For teams, the appeal is control: audit the code, extend it where the license allows, and keep the workflow running even if a vendor changes direction.
