PyNuclei

PyNuclei is an unofficial Python library for Nuclei Scanner.

Features

• Run Nuclei Scans for all or selected templates
• By default uses random User-Agents for every scan.
• User-defined rate limit (Default: 150)

Installation

pip3 install PyNuclei

Usage

from PyNuclei import Nuclei
"""
Nuclei(templatePath)
Args:
    nucleiPath [str][Optional]: The path of nuclei binary file

Returns:
    PyNuclei.Nuclei class object

nucleiScanner.scan()
Args:
    host [str]: The hostname of the target which Nuclei will run against
    templates [list][Optional]: If the templates list is not provided all nuclei templates from the "nucleiTemplates" property will be executed
    generatePoc [str]: Generate Burpsuite like Request-Response or Terminal screenshot.
    userAgents [str][Optional]: If not provided random User-Agents will be used.
    rateLimit [int][Optional]: Defaults to 150.
    maxHostError [int][Optional]: It determines to skip host for scanning after n number of connection failures
    stopAfter [int][Optional]: Stop scanning after getting n number of findings, only use for template paths instead of template categories
    metrics [bool][Optional]: It shows the scan progress.   
    verbose [bool][Optional]: Show nuclei results output and PyNuclei warning logs.

Returns:
    result [dict]: Scan results from all templates.
"""

nucleiPath = "/opt/app/src/bin/nuclei"
nucleiScanner = Nuclei(nucleiPath)
scanResult = nucleiScanner.scan(
    "example.com",
    templates=["cves", "network", "ssl"],
    generatePoc=True,
    rateLimit=150, 
    verbose=False,
    metrics=False,
    maxHostError=30,
    stopAfter=None

print(scanResult)

Templates

from PyNuclei import Nuclei

nucleiScanner = Nuclei()

"""
All active templates.
"""
print(nucleiScanner.nucleiTemplates)
[
    "cnvd", "cves", "default-logins", "exposed-panels",
    "exposures", "file", "misconfiguration",
    "miscellaneous", "takeovers", "technologies",
    "token-spray", "vulnerabilities", "network", 
    "dns", "iot", "ssl"
]

"""
All ignored templates.
"""
print(nucleiScanner.ignoredTemplates)
[
    "headless", "fuzzing", "helpers", 
]

"""
Returns details of all nuclei templates in JSON format
"""
print(nucleiScanner.returnTemplatesDetails())

NOTE: You can run ignored templates by passing them in the template parameter in nucleiScanner.scan(<host>, template=nucleiScanner.ignoredTemplates)

Image PoC

PyNuclei extends its core capabilities with a powerful feature for generating visual Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs). This functionality allows users to create image-based representations of identified vulnerabilities, significantly enhancing reporting and communication.
You can generate Terminal based PoCs, BurpSuite like request/response PoCs, visually displaying the HTTP interactions that demonstrate the vulnerability, and even code execution POCs, showing the resulting output of arbitrary code run.
Furthermore, PyNuclei automates the process of highlighting critical vulnerability details within the generated PoC images, making it instantly clear where the identified issues lie.

Update Nuclei

from PyNuclei import Nuclei
"""
This will update Nuclei engine & Nuclei Templates.
