Update searchsploit

We must start by ensuring our searchsploit database is updated:

  1. From the main terminal prompt, enter the following command to update the searchsploit database:
searchsploit -u
Regularly updating Kali with the APT package manager will also automatically update the database.
  1. Install additional modules required to run some functions of searchsploit:
apt install -y libxml2-utils
