  Introduction Nuclei by Project Discovery is a great tool for automation, and I've started using the tool for automated scanning of vulnerabilities and for automated regression testing. I find it very useful in adding customized templates and get accurate results. Now for a complete automation, I've written python wrapper around my nuclei test cases and added the python script to the crontab. It may not be possible to automate 0-days, but once it is a 1-day, you should have an automation to check for the vulnerability, else someone else will find it. The Idea of Score Card: Everything works great, and my target is a fixed set of around 600 servers.
