GitHub Stats
About Nuclei
Nuclei is a fast, customizable vulnerability scanner based on YAML templates. It allows scanning for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed panels, and more across multiple protocols including HTTP, DNS, TCP, SSL, and JavaScript. The community maintains thousands of detection templates covering CVEs, default credentials, exposed APIs, and technology fingerprints. Nuclei's template system makes it easy to write custom checks and share them with the community.
About Tsunami
Tsunami is a network security scanner developed by Google designed for detecting high-severity vulnerabilities with high confidence at scale. It operates in two phases: first scanning for open ports and services using nmap/ncrack integration, then running vulnerability detection plugins against discovered services. Tsunami focuses on minimizing false positives and only reports vulnerabilities it can verify. Its plugin system allows community contributions for new vulnerability checks. Designed for enterprise-scale networks where manual verification of every finding is impractical.
