+# Nuclei Template Creation Guide
+**Complete Guide for Writing High-Quality Security Templates**
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### **What is a Nuclei Template?**
+Nuclei templates are the cornerstone of the Nuclei scanning engine, designed to enable precise and rapid scanning across various protocols like TCP, DNS, HTTP, and more. Templates are YAML-based definitions that describe how to detect security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposures while ensuring low-to-zero false positives.
+
+> **📖 Official Documentation**: For comprehensive technical details, visit [ProjectDiscovery Template Docs](https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/templates/introduction)
+
+### **Template Structure Overview**
+```yaml
+id: template-identifier
+info:
+  name: Human Readable Vulnerability Name
+  author: your-github-username,vulnerability-discoverer-handle
+  severity: critical|high|medium|low|info
+  description: Clear explanation of what this template detects
+  reference:
+    - https://link-to-vulnerability-details
+  classification:
+    cve-id: CVE-2024-1234
+    cwe-id: CWE-89
+  tags: cve,sqli,rce
+  metadata:
+    verified: true
+    shodan-query: 'http.title:"VulnApp"'
+
+http:
+  - method: GET
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/vulnerable-endpoint"
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "vulnerability_indicator"
+        part: body
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Template Creation
+
+### **Step 1: Research and Understand the Vulnerability**
+Before writing any code:
+- [ ] Read the original vulnerability disclosure/advisory
+- [ ] Understand the root cause and exploitation method
+- [ ] Identify unique indicators that prove vulnerability exists
+- [ ] Test the vulnerability in a controlled environment
+- [ ] Document the vulnerable versions and affected components
+
+### **Step 2: Choose Your Template ID and Info**
+```yaml
+# Use descriptive, short identifiers
+id: apache-struts-ognl-injection  # GOOD - clear and specific
+id: vuln-app-rce                  # BAD - too generic
+
+info:
+  name: Apache Struts OGNL Code Injection  # Format: "Vendor Product - Vulnerability Type"
+  author: your-github-username,original-researcher-handle  # Always credit the discoverer
+  severity: critical  # Based on CVSS score and real-world impact
+```
+
+### **Step 3: Write Accurate Description and References**
+```yaml
+info:
+  description: |
+    Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.34 and 2.5.x before 2.5.16 suffer from 
+    OGNL injection vulnerability that allows remote code execution.
+  reference:
+    - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057
+    - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-11776
+    - https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2018/Aug/31
+  classification:
+    cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
+    cvss-score: 8.1
+    cve-id: CVE-2018-11776
+    cwe-id: CWE-94
+```
+
+### **Step 4: Add Proper Tags and Metadata**
+```yaml
+info:
+  tags: cve,cve2018,rce,apache,struts,ognl  # Be specific and comprehensive
+  metadata:
+    verified: true  # Only if you've tested it yourself
+    max-request: 1  # Auto-calculated, don't set manually
+    shodan-query: 'http.component:"Apache Struts"'
+    fofa-query: 'body="struts" && title="Apache"'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Writing Effective HTTP Requests
+
+### **Basic HTTP Template Structure**
+```yaml
+http:
+  - method: GET|POST|PUT|DELETE
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/endpoint"        # Dynamic BaseURL variable
+      - "{{Hostname}}/another-path"   # Alternative dynamic variable
+    
+    headers:
+      User-Agent: Custom-Agent-String
+      Content-Type: application/json
+      Origin: https://example.com
+    
+    body: |
+      {"param": "{{payload}}"}
+    
+    disable-cookie: false  # Cookies reused by default (optional)
+    
+    matchers-condition: and  # Require ALL matchers to pass
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "success_indicator"
+        part: body
+```
+
+> **📖 Reference**: [HTTP Template Syntax](https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/templates/protocols/http) for complete protocol details
+
+### **Using Variables for Flexibility**
+```yaml
+variables:
+  username: "admin"
+  payload: "{{rand_base(8)}}"
+
+http:
+  - method: POST
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/login"
+    body: |
+      username={{username}}&password={{payload}}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Matcher Best Practices
+
+### **🚫 Avoid Weak Matchers**
+```yaml
+# BAD - Too generic, will match many innocent systems
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "error"
+      - "admin"
+      - "login"
+    part: body
+```
+
+### **✅ Use Strong, Specific Matchers**
+```yaml
+# GOOD - Specific to the vulnerability

+## Testing Your Template
+
+### **Before Submitting - Test Thoroughly**
+```bash
+# Test against known vulnerable instance
+nuclei -t your-template.yaml -target http://vulnerable-app.local -debug
+
+# Test against patched/non-vulnerable systems
+nuclei -t your-template.yaml -target http://patched-app.local -debug
+
+# Test against similar but different applications
+nuclei -t your-template.yaml -target http://different-but-similar-app.local -debug
+```
+
+### **Validation Checklist**
+- [ ] Template detects the vulnerability on vulnerable systems
+- [ ] Template does NOT trigger false positives on:
+  - [ ] Patched versions of the same application
+  - [ ] Similar applications from the same vendor
+  - [ ] Generic web frameworks or CMSs
+  - [ ] Default server error pages
+- [ ] Matchers are specific enough to avoid honeypots
+- [ ] References are valid and accessible
+- [ ] YAML syntax is correct (`nuclei -validate -t template.yaml`)
+
+---
+
+## Common Vulnerability Types - Template Patterns
+
+### **SQL Injection Detection**
+```yaml
+http:
+  - method: POST
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/search"
+    body: "q={{payload}}"
+    
+    payloads:
+      payload:
+        - "1' OR '1'='1"
+        - "1' UNION SELECT version()--"
+        - "1' AND (SELECT SUBSTRING(@@version,1,1))='5'--"
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument"
+          - "You have an error in your SQL syntax"
+          - "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC"
+        part: body
+```
+
+### **Remote Code Execution (RCE)**
+```yaml
+variables:
+  cmd: "whoami"
+  marker: "{{rand_base(8)}}"
+
+http:
+  - method: POST
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/execute"
+    body: |
+      command={{cmd}} && echo {{marker}}
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "{{marker}}"
+        part: body
+      - type: regex
+        regex:
+          - 'root|administrator|www-data'
+        part: body
+```
+
+### **Local File Inclusion (LFI)**
+```yaml
+http:
+  - method: GET
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/view?file=../../../etc/passwd"
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/view?file=..\\..\\..\\windows\\win.ini"
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: regex
+        regex:
+          - 'root:.*?:[0-9]*:[0-9]*:'  # Linux /etc/passwd
+          - '\[fonts\]'                 # Windows win.ini
+        part: body
+```
+
+### **Authentication Bypass**
+```yaml
+http:
+  - method: GET
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/admin"
+    headers:
+      X-Originating-IP: 127.0.0.1
+      X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
+      X-Real-IP: 127.0.0.1
+    
+    matchers-condition: and
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "Admin Dashboard"
+          - "Administrative Panel"
+        part: body
+      - type: status
+        status:
+          - 200
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Template Features
+
+### **Using Extractors for Data Collection**
+```yaml
+http:
+  - method: GET
+    path:
+      - "{{BaseURL}}/info"
+    
+    extractors:
+      - type: regex
+        name: version
+        regex:
+          - 'Version: ([0-9\.]+)'
+        group: 1
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "Application Info"
+        part: body
+```
+
+### **Conditional Logic with DSL**
+```yaml
+matchers:
+  - type: dsl
+    dsl:
+      - 'status_code == 200'
+      - 'contains(body, "vulnerable_pattern")'
+      - 'len(body) > 1000'
+    condition: and
+```
+
+### **Network Templates for Non-HTTP Services**
+```yaml
+network:
+  - inputs:
+      - data: "{{hex_decode('474554202f20485454502f312e310d0a0d0a')}}"  # GET / HTTP/1.1
+    host:
+      - "{{Hostname}}"
+    port: 8080
+    
+    matchers:
+      - type: word
+        words:
+          - "Server: VulnServer/1.0"
+        part: data
+```
+
+---
+
+## Submission Guidelines
+
+### **Preparing Your Template for Submission**
+1. **Validate Syntax**
+   ```bash
+   nuclei -validate -t your-template.yaml
+   ```
+
+2. **Test Thoroughly**
+   ```bash
+   nuclei -t your-template.yaml -target vulnerable-instance.com -debug
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for Existing Templates**
+   - Search the repository for similar vulnerabilities
+   - Avoid duplicating existing detection logic
+   - If improving existing template, explain why
+
+4. **Follow Naming Conventions**
+   - Place in appropriate directory (`cves/2024/`, `exposures/`, `misconfiguration/`)
+   - Use descriptive filename: `CVE-2024-1234.yaml` or `app-name-vuln-type.yaml`
+
+### **Pull Request Best Practices**
+- **Title**: Clear description of what the template detects
+- **Description**: Include:
+  - Link to vulnerability details/advisory
+  - Affected versions
+  - Testing methodology
+  - Screenshots/proof if possible
+- **Testing**: Show debug output proving detection works
+- **Test Instances**: If you have a testable self-hosted instance or vulnerable environment that cannot be shared publicly, email [email protected]
+- **References**: Include all relevant security advisories
+
+> **💡 Pro Tip**: Providing a testable vulnerable environment significantly reduces review time and speeds up the template merge process. Reviewers can immediately validate your template instead of setting up their own test environment.

+# GOOD - Include both template author and vulnerability discoverer in author field
+info:
+  author: template-author-github-username,original-discoverer-handle
+  description: SQL injection vulnerability in Example App v2.1.0 allows remote code execution.
+  reference:
+    - https://github.com/security_researcher/advisories/example-app-sqli
+    - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-1234
+
+# EXAMPLES of proper author attribution
+info:
+  author: princechaddha,0xd0ff9  # Template by princechaddha, vulnerability found by 0xd0ff9
+
+info:
+  author: dhiyaneshDk,researcher_name  # Template by dhiyaneshDk, discovered by researcher_name
+
+info:
+  author: geeknik,@security_handle  # Template by geeknik, found by @security_handle
+```
+
+### **Metadata Quality Check**
+```yaml
+Enhanced Metadata:
+- [ ] verified: true (if tested with debug data)
+- [ ] shodan-query: Search dork for asset discovery
+- [ ] fofa-query: Alternative search engine query

+
+Note: max-request is auto-generated and doesn't need manual input
+```
+
+---
+
+## Matcher Quality Framework
+
+### **🚫 Weak Matchers (High False Positive Risk)**
+
+#### **Generic Response Patterns - AVOID**
+```yaml
+# BAD - Matches any admin interface globally
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "admin"
+      - "login"
+      - "dashboard"
+    part: body
+```
+**Problem:** These terms appear on millions of legitimate systems
+
+#### **Version-Only Detection - AVOID**
+```yaml  
+# BAD - Matches all versions, not just vulnerable ones
+matchers:
+  - type: regex
+    regex:
+      - 'WordPress [0-9]+\.[0-9]+'
+    part: body
+```
+**Problem:** Doesn't verify actual vulnerability presence
+
+### **✅ Strong Vulnerability-Specific Matchers**
+
+#### **Multi-Layer Verification Strategy**
+```yaml
+# GOOD - Combines application + version + vulnerability proof
+matchers-condition: and
+matchers:
+  - type: word                    # Layer 1: Identify specific application
+    words:
+      - "Grafana Dashboard"
+      - "grafana.com/login"
+    part: body
+    
+  - type: regex                   # Layer 2: Confirm vulnerable version range
+    regex:
+      - 'version.*[6-8]\.[0-5]\.[0-9]'
+    part: body
+    
+  - type: word                    # Layer 3: Verify exploit success
+    words:
+      - "unauthorized_data_access"
+      - "/api/snapshots/{{randstr}}"
+    part: body
+    condition: or
+```
+
+#### **CVE-Specific Template Example**
+```yaml
+# CVE-2024-1234 - Specific Application RCE
+matchers-condition: and  
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "VulnApp Management Console v2.1.0"    # Exact vulnerable version
+      - "Build 2024.03.15"                     # Specific build identifier
+    part: body
+    
+  - type: status                              # Expected response code
+    status:
+      - 200
+      
+  - type: word                                # Exploitation proof
+    words:  
+      - "RCE_EXECUTION_SUCCESS_{{randstr}}"    # Unique payload response
+      - "nuclei_test_command_output"           # Command execution indicator
+    part: body
+    condition: or
+```
+
+#### **Panel Detection - Unique Signatures**
+```yaml  
+# FortiGate Panel - Multiple unique identifiers
+matchers-condition: and
+matchers:
+  - type: word                    
+    words:
+      - "<title>FortiGate - Login</title>"     # Specific page title
+      - "Fortinet, Inc."                       # Vendor attribution  
+      - "FortiOS Version:"                     # Version indicator
+    part: body
+    condition: or
+    
+  - type: regex
+    regex:
+      - '/images/fortinet_logo_[0-9]+\.png'    # Unique asset pattern
+      - 'build_[0-9]{4}_[0-9]{6}'              # Build number format specific to FortiGate
+    part: body
+    condition: or
+```
+
+---
+
+## False Positive Prevention
+
+### **High-Risk Scenarios to Test**
+Before approval, verify matchers DON'T trigger on:
+
+1. **Related Non-Vulnerable Systems**
+   - Same vendor, different products
+   - Same application, patched versions
+   - Similar interfaces, different implementations
+
+2. **Generic Web Applications**
+   - Common frameworks (WordPress, Django, Rails)
+   - Standard admin panels (cPanel, Plesk)
+   - Default server pages (Apache, Nginx)
+
+3. **Honeypot/Security Tools**
+   - Intentionally deceptive responses
+   - Security scanners mimicking vulnerabilities
+   - Research environments with fake responses
+
+### **Matcher Testing Checklist**
+```yaml
+Required Validation Steps:
+- [ ] Test against 3+ non-vulnerable similar applications
+- [ ] Verify unique response elements are truly unique
+- [ ] Confirm payload/exploitation indicators are specific
+- [ ] Check matcher doesn't trigger on default installations
+- [ ] Validate version detection accuracy (if applicable)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Review Categories by Impact
+
+### **1. Metadata Enhancement**
+**Most Common Missing Elements:**
+- `shodan-query` for asset discovery
+- `fofa-query` for alternative search engines
+- `classification` fields for vulnerability tracking
+
+**Review Actions:**
+```yaml
+# Add asset discovery capabilities
+metadata:
+  verified: true
+  shodan-query: 'http.title:"Grafana" http.component:"Grafana"'
+  fofa-query: 'title="Grafana" && body="grafana"'
+
+# Ensure proper classification
+classification:
+  cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
+  cvss-score: 9.8
+  cve-id: CVE-2024-1234
+  cwe-id: CWE-89
+```
+
+### **2. Matcher Quality**
+**Common Issues:**
+- Overly broad detection patterns
+- Missing context verification
+- Weak exploitation proof
+
+**Review Standards:**
+```yaml
+# Require multi-layer validation
+matchers-condition: and  # Force all conditions to match
+matchers:
+  - type: word            # Application identification
+  - type: status          # Response validation  
+  - type: word            # Vulnerability proof
+    condition: or         # Allow multiple proof methods
+```
+
+### **3. Severity Assessment**
+**CVSS Alignment Requirements:**
+- **Critical (9.0-10.0):** Remote code execution, complete system compromise
+- **High (7.0-8.9):** Significant data breach, privilege escalation
+- **Medium (4.0-6.9):** Information disclosure, limited access
+- **Low (0.1-3.9):** Minor information leakage, requires authentication
+
+### **4. Reference Validation**
+**Required Reference Quality:**
+- Original vulnerability advisory (CVE, vendor security bulletin)
+- Technical analysis or proof of concept
+- NIST NVD entry (if available)
+- Public disclosure timeline
+
+---
+
+## Reviewer Action Templates
+
+### **For Metadata Improvements**
+```
+Please enhance the template metadata:
+- Add `shodan-query` for asset discovery: `[suggested query]`
+- Include `fofa-query` for alternative search: `[suggested query]`  
+- Verify `classification` fields are complete
+- Ensure `verified: true` with debug data if tested
+```
+
+### **For Weak Matchers**
+```
+The current matchers may produce false positives. Please:
+- Add application-specific identifiers (exact titles, unique elements)
+- Include version validation for vulnerable ranges only
+- Verify exploitation proof rather than just version detection
+- Test against [specific non-vulnerable scenarios]
+```
+
+### **For Severity Issues**
+```
+Severity should be [X] based on CVSS impact:
+- Attack Vector: [Network/Adjacent/Local/Physical]
+- Impact: [Complete/Partial/None] for CIA triad
+- Required Privileges: [None/Low/High]
+- Reference CVSS calculator: [link]
+```
+
+### **For Missing References**
+```
+Please add comprehensive references:
+- Original vulnerability disclosure/advisory
+- Technical analysis or exploitation details  
+- Official vendor security bulletin (if available)
+- NIST NVD entry: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-XXXX-XXXX
+```
+
+### **For Missing Vulnerability Discoverer Attribution**
+```
+Please credit the original vulnerability discoverer in the author field:
+- Update author field: "template-author,vulnerability-discoverer" (comma-separated)
+- Example: "princechaddha,0xd0ff9" or "dhiyaneshDk,researcher_name"
+- Include original disclosure/research reference
+- Ensure proper credit for both template creator AND vulnerability researcher
+```
+
+---

+```bash
+# Recommended testing workflow
+nuclei -t new-template.yaml -target vulnerable-lab.com -debug
+nuclei -t new-template.yaml -target patched-system.com -debug
+nuclei -t new-template.yaml -list target-variety.txt -silent
+```
+
+### **Vulnerability Context Research**
+1. **CVE Database Cross-Reference:** Verify vulnerability details match template scope
+2. **Vendor Advisory Review:** Confirm affected versions and exploitation requirements  
+3. **Community Disclosure Analysis:** Check for additional context or limitations
+4. **Exploit Database Validation:** Compare detection approach with known exploits
+
+### **Review Documentation Standards**
+- Document testing methodology in PR comments
+- Provide specific improvement suggestions with examples
+- Reference similar high-quality templates as comparison
+- Explain security rationale for matcher requirements
+
+---
+
+## Practical Examples by Vulnerability Type
+
+### **SQL Injection Templates**
+```yaml
+# WRONG - Generic database errors (match many systems)
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "mysql_fetch"
+      - "SQL syntax"
+
+# RIGHT - Specific to vulnerability context
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument"    # Specific error pattern
+      - "WHERE id='1' OR '1'='1'"                   # Injection payload context
+      - "users table does not exist"                # Application-specific error
+    part: body
+    condition: and
+```
+
+### **RCE Templates**
+```yaml
+# WRONG - Generic command output
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "root"
+      - "/bin/bash"
+
+# RIGHT - Command execution in vulnerability context
+matchers:
+  - type: regex
+    regex:
+      - 'uid=0\(root\) gid=0\(root\) groups=0\(root\)'  # Complete whoami output
+    part: body
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "nuclei_rce_test_{{rand_base(6)}}"               # Unique payload identifier
+    part: body
+```
+
+### **File Upload Vulnerabilities**
+```yaml
+# WRONG - Generic file upload success
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "uploaded successfully"
+      - "file saved"
+
+# RIGHT - Vulnerability-specific upload validation
+matchers:
+  - type: word
+    words:
+      - "nuclei_test_{{randstr}}.php uploaded to /var/www/uploads/"  # Specific path + file
+      - "File permissions: 644"                                      # System response
+      - "<?php echo 'nuclei_upload_test'; ?>"                       # File content verification
+    part: body
+    condition: and
+```
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Layer Matcher Strategy
+
+```yaml
+# Use multiple verification layers
+matchers-condition: and
+matchers:
+  - type: word           # Layer 1: Identify the application
+    words:
+      - "VulnApp Management Console"
+    part: body
+    
+  - type: regex          # Layer 2: Confirm vulnerable version
+    regex:
+      - 'Version: [1-2]\.[0-5]\.[0-9]'
+    part: body
+    
+  - type: word           # Layer 3: Verify vulnerability exists
+    words:
+      - "debug_info_exposed"
+      - "configuration_leak"
+    part: body
+    condition: or

+  author: Th3l0newolf
+  severity: high
+  description: |
+    The ENCRYPT_METHOD setting in /etc/login.defs specifies the algorithm used to hash passwords.It should be set to SHA512 or yescrypt, as weaker algorithms may expose passwords to brute-force attacks.
+  remediation: |
+    Edit /etc/login.defs and set ENCRYPT_METHOD to either SHA512 or yescrypt.Verify with: grep -Pi -- '^\h*ENCRYPT_METHOD\h+(SHA512|yescrypt)\b' /etc/login.defs
