## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, search-engine, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli, dotnet
