SessionGopher is a PowerShell tool that extracts and decrypts saved session information for remote access tools like WinSCP, PuTTY, SuperPuTTY, FileZilla, and RDP. It queries the registry via WMI and can run locally or remotely against lists of hosts or entire domains.

Use cases

  • extract saved PuTTY and WinSCP session credentials from Windows hosts
  • find systems that connect to jump boxes or Unix servers during a pentest
  • remotely harvest saved RDP and FileZilla sessions across a domain
  • search drives for .ppk, .rdp, and .sdtid files in thorough mode
  • dump saved session passwords from registry hives

When to choose

  • you are doing red-team or post-exploitation work on Windows environments
  • you need to map lateral movement paths through saved remote-access sessions
  • you want a lightweight PowerShell script with no dependencies that runs via WMI

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool with active development or support
  • you are not on Windows or cannot run PowerShell
  • you need stealth features or evasion capabilities beyond quiet WMI queries
