Analysis of the Exploit-DB

What is it?

This library provides notebooks to analyze a snapshot of the Exploit-DB. The snapshot was retrieved from Kali Linux and transformed with the script execute_transformer. Both the time of transformation and that of the snapshot are documented in the file timestamps. The snapshot is stored as a CSV file. For a description of how to update it see below.

Key results achieved with this library are presented in this Towards Data Science article.
