For many years, a number of vulnerabilities have been reported in the public domain. Some of these were disclosed with the PoC exploit code to prove the feasibility and viability of a vulnerability found in the specific software or application. And, many still remain unaddressed. This competitive era of finding the publicly available exploits and vulnerability information makes it easier for penetration testers to quickly search and retrieve the best available exploit that may suit their target system environment. You can also port one type of exploit to another type (for example, Win32 architecture to Linux architecture) provided that you hold intermediate programming skills, and a clear understanding of OS-specific architecture. We have provided a combined set of online repositories that may help you to track down any vulnerability information, or its exploit, by searching through them.
