Usage

Basic Usage

from herbie.plugins.nuclei_plugin import NucleiPlugin

# Initialize the plugin
nuclei = NucleiPlugin()

# Run a scan
results = nuclei.nuclei_scan(
    target="example.com",
    severity="medium",
    tags="cve"
)

Advanced Configuration

# Custom template configuration
results = nuclei.nuclei_scan(
    target="example.com",
    severity="high",
    tags="cve,rce",
    vars="port=443,ssl=true"
)
