Snaffler is a C# command-line tool for pentesters and red teamers that enumerates Windows/AD environments to find sensitive files (mostly credentials) on readable network file shares. It discovers domain computers and shares, then scans files using regex-based rules to flag interesting content.

Use cases

  • find credentials in windows file shares during a pentest
  • enumerate active directory shares for sensitive files
  • red team internal recon for juicy files
  • scan a network share directory for secrets
  • hunt for passwords in a large AD environment

When to choose

  • you are a pentester or red teamer assessing a Windows/AD environment
  • you need to quickly locate credential material on readable file shares
  • you want a single portable exe that runs on a domain-joined machine

When to avoid

  • you need a compliance or audit tool - it is explicitly not designed for that
  • you are not on a Windows/Active Directory environment
  • you need ML-based file classification rather than regex rules
