The National Vulnerability Database (NVD), managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), plays a pivotal role in cybersecurity. It is not just a repository but the backbone of vulnerability management across the globe. However, recent disruptions have raised concerns about the reliability and responsiveness of the NVD.

The latest release of Nuclei, v3.2, introduces significant updates aimed at enhancing the security scanning capabilities of the Nuclei engine.

Security professionals are constantly on guard against cyber threats, especially given the rising number and sophistication of attacks. However, there's a less obvious, yet increasingly alarming "enemy" in cybersecurity: the surge in reported Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Though CVEs are vital for identifying and discussing

If you've been around our community for some time, you know that we've been hard at work getting ProjectDiscovery Cloud Platform ready for all of you. Our goal is to support community members using PD tools for everyone; from bug bounty hunting all the way through

Cyber threats have always been a part of the landscape of tech; from the first worm all the way to current supply chain and CI/CD vulnerabilities. What's different now is there seems to be an overwhelming amount of tools and solutions promising to be the silver bullet

In the age of digitization, there's an imperative for companies, developers, and users to prioritize security. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system, and its associated CVSS scores, have played a pivotal role in helping the industry identify, categorize, and react to security issues. However, when every potential

Ever since joining ProjectDiscovery over nine months ago, I've been constantly surprised about many aspects of the state of the security industry today. Having lived through the open source revolution in software development and DevOps, I came to understand that a lot of what I learned and assumed

As I mentioned in my blog about joining ProjectDiscovery, I came from mostly a DevOps background - I was just getting into software development as a career when the term "DevOps" was coined in 2009, almost 15 years ago. And so I got to see the problems that

The only constant is change. Perhaps nowhere is that more true than in software and security. Ever-evolving business needs and an ever-increasing speed of innovation have come together to cause an explosion in available surface area for attackers. This comes in many forms – with an ever-increasing list of tools that
