Get started in 3 steps

Install Sn1per free. Scanning in minutes.

The Community Edition is the same battle-tested scan engine that powers the commercial editions — downloaded straight from GitHub, installed with one script.

Pick a host

Sn1per runs on Kali, Parrot, Ubuntu, or Debian. Run as root (or with sudo). No supported Linux box handy? Use the Docker option below — it runs anywhere.

Clone & install

One command pulls the source and installs every dependency:

git clone https://github.com/1N3/Sn1per
cd Sn1per && bash install.sh

Run your first scan

Point Sn1per at a target you are authorized to test. normal mode runs the full automated workflow; recon mode does passive OSINT + discovery only:

sniper -t target.com -m normal
sniper -t target.com -m recon

Prefer Docker?

Build the image from the bundled Dockerfile and run Sn1per in a container on any OS:

docker build -t sn1per .
docker run --privileged -it sn1per /bin/bash

Need the manual?

Full scan modes, flags, and module reference live in the documentation. Every Community command works identically in Professional and Enterprise.

What you get, free

The full scan engine. Zero cost.

Community Edition isn't a crippled trial — it's the real automated pentest core, free forever. Here's what ships in the box.

Automated Reconnaissance

OSINT, subdomain enumeration, DNS, and port scanning chained into one pass — the same discovery engine across every edition.

Vulnerability Scanning

Orchestrates leading open-source scanners to find the latest CVEs and common misconfigurations automatically.

Attack Surface Discovery

Maps the internal and external assets an attacker would see, so nothing exposed slips past unnoticed.

Multiple Scan Modes

normal, recon, stealth, web, airstrike, and discover modes — tune depth and noise to the engagement.

90+ Tools, One Command

Nmap, Nuclei, and dozens more wrapped into a single automated workflow you launch with one sniper command.

Web Application Testing

Crawl and scan web apps for OWASP-style issues as part of the automated run — no separate setup.

Organized Loot Output

Every target gets a structured results directory on disk — findings, raw tool output, and screenshots in one place.

100% Open Source

Read the source, extend it, and contribute on GitHub. Thousands of stars and a decade of community hardening.

Ready for more?

Where Community stops, Professional begins.

Questions, answered

Sn1per Community Edition FAQ

Free vs paid, installing on Kali, and why you should never run a "cracked" build.

Yes. Sn1per Community Edition is free and open-source on GitHub (1N3/Sn1per). It includes the core command-line scan engine and recon modes. The paid Professional and Enterprise editions add the web dashboard, scheduling, reporting, integrations, and support.

Clone the repo and run the installer: git clone https://github.com/1N3/Sn1per && cd Sn1per && bash install.sh. Sn1per runs on Kali, Parrot, Ubuntu, and Debian, and a Docker image is also available. Then launch a scan with: sniper -t target.com -m normal.

Community is the free command-line scanner. Professional adds the web UI (port 1337), a database-backed asset inventory, scheduled and continuous scans, change notifications, exportable CSV/XLS/PDF reports, every module and integration, and one year of email support — for individuals and teams who want the full platform.

No legitimate one exists, and you do not need one. The Community Edition is genuinely free. "Cracked" or "nulled" Sn1per Professional builds on warez sites are unlicensed and frequently bundled with malware or backdoors — a serious risk for a security tool that runs with elevated privileges. Start with the free Community Edition, or license Professional/Enterprise legitimately.

The Community Edition is free to download and use for evaluation and personal use; review the license in the GitHub repository for the exact terms that apply to your use. Professional and Enterprise include commercial licensing, support, and the team workflow features most consultancies and MSSPs rely on.

No. The web dashboard, scheduling, reporting, asset management, and integrations dashboard are Professional and Enterprise features. Community Edition is command-line only.

Sn1per is built for Linux — Kali, Parrot, Ubuntu, and Debian are supported directly, and the Docker image runs anywhere Docker does, including macOS and Windows (via Docker Desktop or WSL).

Sn1per orchestrates 90+ open-source and commercial tools (including Nmap) into one automated workflow for reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, and attack-surface mapping. Instead of running and correlating dozens of tools by hand, you run a single sniper command and get a consolidated result.
