Root flags

Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.cent.yaml)
  -C, --console         Print console output
  -p, --path string     Root path to save the templates (default "cent-nuclei-templates")

cent version

Example:

Clone and insert all the community templates into the cent-nuclei-templates folder

cent -p cent-nuclei-templates

If you have updated the cent.yaml file by adding new folders

exclude-dirs:
  - ...
  - dns
  - ...

just do:

cent update -p cent-nuclei-templates -d

and cent will automatically delete all dns folder present in cent-nuclei-templates without cloning all the github repos.

Same thing with exclude-files

cent update -p cent-nuclei-templates -f

---

Once cent has been configured correctly you can perform a scan with Nuclei.

Example

nuclei -u https://example.com -t ./cent-nuclei-templates -tags cve
nuclei -l urls.txt -t ./cent-nuclei-templates -tags cve

See here for more documentation about Nuclei
