#  Nuclei Cheat codes & Commands.

## Easy Mode
Nuclei is quite simple to get up-and-running without having to read a lot of documentation. After installing the tool, it can be as simple as running (for a single target):

### HTTP(s) services.
*nuclei -u https://my.target.site*

### or to scan non-HTTP(S) network services:

*nuclei -u my.target.site:5759*

### for multiple targets:
nuclei -l /path/to/list-of-targets.txt

### Automatic Selection (-as)

This option will attempt to fingerprint the technology stack and components used on the target, then select templates that have been tagged with those tech stack keywords.

*nuclei -u https:// my.target.site -as*

### Only New Templates (-nt)

This option will use only templates that were added from the last update (for example by running nuclei -update-templates).

*nuclei -u https://my.target.site -nt*
