Snaffler

Snaffler is a tool for pentesters to help find delicious candy needles (creds mostly, but it’s flexible) in a bunch of horrible boring haystacks (a massive Windows/AD environment).

It might also be useful for other people doing other stuff, but it is explicitly NOT meant to be an “audit” tool.

What does it do?

It gets a list of Windows computers from Active Directory, then spreads out its snaffly appendages to them all to figure out which ones have file shares, and whether you can read them.

Then YET MORE snaffly appendages enumerate all the files in those shares and use LEARNED ARTIFACTUAL INTELLIGENCE for MACHINES to figure out which ones a grubby little hacker like you might want.

Actually it doesn’t do any ML stuff (yet), because doing that right would require training data, and that would require an enormous amount of time that we don’t have.

Use

If you “literally just run the EXE on a domain joined machine in the context of a domain user” (as people were instructed to do with Grouper2, immediately before they ran it with all the verbose/debug switches on so it screamed several hundred megabytes of stack traces at them) it will basically do nothing. This is our idea of a prank^TM on people who don’t read README files, because we’re monsters.

HOWEVER… if you add the correct incantations, it will enable the aforementioned L.A.I.M. and the file paths where candy may be found will fall out.

The key incantations are:

-o Enables outputting results to a file. You probably want this if you’re not using -s. e.g. -o C:\users\thing\snaffler.log

-s Enables outputting results to stdout as soon as they’re found. You probably want this if you’re not using -o.

-v Controls verbosity level, options are Trace (most verbose), Debug (less verbose), Info (less verbose still, default), and Data (results only). e.g -v debug

-m Enables and assigns an output dir for snaffler to automatically take a copy of any found files that it likes.

-f Disables file discovery, will only perform computer and share discovery.

-i Disables computer and share discovery, requires a path to a directory in which to perform file discovery.

-t Maximum number of threads. Default 30.

-d Domain to search for computers to search for shares on to search for files in. Easy.

-a Enables scanning of C$ shares if found. Can be prone to false positives but more thorough. Snaffler will still tell you that it FOUND these shares even if it doesn’t look inside them.

-c Domain controller to query for the list of domain computers.

-r The maximum size file (in bytes) to search inside for interesting strings. Defaults to 500k.

-j How many bytes of context either side of found strings in files to show, e.g. -j 200
