+The Exploit Database official repository
+
+The Exploit Database is an archive of public exploits and corresponding
+vulnerable software, developed for use by penetration testers and
+vulnerability researchers.
+
+Its aim is to serve as the most comprehensive collection of exploits,
+shellcode and papers gathered through direct submissions, mailing
+lists, and other public sources, and present them in a
+freely-available and easy-to-navigate database
+
+This package contains also the binary exploits distribution which is
+around 1.1GB in size so it will produce a fairly large package.
+
+NOTE:
+This package contains dangerous software, you don't want to have it on
+your publicly reachable server on the internet. Exercise caution when
+operating with vulnerable software and always ask for permission before
+testing this software on someone else's machine.
