Google often indexes public proof-of-concepts, GitHub repos, or blog posts with exploits. Don’t underestimate this step!
Shodan Exploit Search
Use Shodan Exploits to search exploits by software and version.
Enter your target software and version in the search box
Browse exploits indexed from multiple sources in one place
