Sn1per Configuration Options

Sn1per has many configuration options available to get the most out of the tool. To configure Sn1per for your system, you can edit the /root/.sniper.conf file and update all settings based on your needs. Most are straight forward but we've listed some of the settings below for reference with a brief description of what each does to assist.

• AUTOBRUTE="0" - Enables automatic brute forcing via "normal" and "nuke" mode scans. Can also be enabled from the command line via the (-b) switch.
• FULLNMAPSCAN="0" - Enabled automatic full NMap scanning via "normal" and "nuke" mode scans. Can also be enabled from the command line via the (-fp) switch.
• OSINT="1" - Enables automatic OSINT mode scans via "normal", "stealth", "airstrike" and "nuke" mode scans. Can also be selectively enabled from the command line via the (-o) switch.
• ENABLE_AUTO_UPDATES="1" - Automatically checks for new Sn1per Community version updates from Github.
• ONLINE="1" - Checks if an active internet connection is present. This is still an experimental feature and not fully implemented or utilized.
• REPORT="1" - Enables report generation for all Sn1per scans. This is a mandatory option, so disabling will cause Sn1per to stop functioning properly.
• LOOT="1" - Saves all console output and reports to a specified loot or workspace directory. Disable to prevent logging and saving of all files. Please note that this option is required for Sn1per Professional to function properly.
• SNIPER_PRO_CONSOLE_OUTPUT="0" - Displays an overview of all hosts in a workspace (ie. open ports, web title, web headers, DNS, etc.) at the end of all Sn1per scans via the console.
• SN1PER_AUTOLOAD="1" - Automatically opens a web browser to load the Sn1per Professional HTML reports from. Disable to prevent this.
• ARACHNI_SCAN="1" - Enables Arachni automated web application scans via the "webscan" mode. No additional configuration is required on Kali Linux 2.x.
