Patterns in this package

Cisco Network Config Credentials

Detects credentials and sensitive configuration directives in Cisco IOS/NX-OS configuration files, including enable passwords/secrets, SNMP community strings with write access, PAC keys, and NVRAM/LDAP authentication indicators. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepNetConfigCreds.

Command-Line Credential Strings

Detects credentials passed as command-line arguments in Windows batch scripts, PowerShell, and shell scripts. Covers net use /user:, schtasks /rp, psexec -p, cmdkey, and bare password= assignments. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepCmdCredentials.

Microsoft Defender Sensor Configuration with Credentials

Detects Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) SensorConfiguration.json files containing DirectoryServicesAccount credentials and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) mdatp_managed.json files containing onboardingInfo blobs, both of which represent high-value security tool configuration secrets. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepDefenderConfigByName.

MDT Domain Join Credentials in CustomSettings.ini

Detects Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) customsettings.ini files that embed domain join credentials, including DomainAdminPassword and DomainAdmin account values used during automated OS deployments. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepDomainJoinCredsByName / KeepDomainJoinCredsByPath.

Firefox Encrypted Login Entry

Detects Firefox logins.json encrypted password entries in the JSON format used by Firefox's NSS (Network Security Services) credential store. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepFFRegexRed.

FTP Server and Client Credential Files

Detects passwords stored in FTP server and client configuration files, including FileZilla server/client recentservers.xml base64-encoded passwords, proftpd-style shadow passwd lines with hashed credentials, and sftp-config.json plaintext password fields. Mirrors Snaffler rules KeepFtpServerConfigByName and KeepFtpClientConfigConfigByName.

Apache htpasswd Hashed Credential

Detects Apache htpasswd file entries containing hashed passwords in MD5 ($apr1$), bcrypt ($2y$, $2b$, $2a$), or SHA ({SHA}) formats. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepConfigByName.

MediaWiki LocalSettings Credentials

Detects MediaWiki LocalSettings.php files containing database passwords ($wgDBpassword), secret keys ($wgSecretKey), and upgrade keys ($wgUpgradeKey). These are high-value secrets that grant database and administrative access to a MediaWiki installation. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepPhpByName.

Password File Credential List

Detects credential list files — documents containing multiple username/password pairs in a structured, enumerated format (passwords.txt, secrets.*, BitlockerLAPSPasswords.csv, etc.). Distinguishes a credential roster from prose mentioning "password". Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepPasswordFilesByName.

PowerShell Credential Objects with Plaintext Password

Detects PowerShell credential constructs that embed plaintext passwords, including ConvertTo-SecureString with -AsPlainText and [Net.NetworkCredential]::new() calls. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepPsCredentials.

Ruby on Rails Secret Credentials

Detects secret credentials embedded in Ruby on Rails configuration files: secret_token/secret_key_base assignments (config/initializers/secret_token.rb, config/secrets.yml), database passwords (config/database.yml), and Chef knife client keys (knife.rb). These files are frequently committed to source control and expose application secrets and infrastructure access. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepRubyByName.

RDP Saved Password (.rdp file)

Detects DPAPI-encrypted saved passwords stored in Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) configuration files. The characteristic line "password 51:b:<base64-blob>" contains a DPAPI ciphertext blob representing a saved RDP credential. These files are frequently found on file shares, workstations, and in source-control repositories and represent a high-severity finding because the blob can be decrypted on the originating machine under the same user context. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepRdpPasswords.

Remote Access Tool Credential Files

Detects passwords and credentials stored in remote access configuration files including RDCMan .rdg files (logonCredentials blocks), mRemoteNG confCons.xml (Node Password attributes), and OpenVPN .ovpn files with embedded auth directives. MobaXterm .ini files are a Snaffler filename target only — passwords are stored obfuscated (proprietary XOR cipher) with no plaintext fingerprint detectable by content regex. Mirrors Snaffler rules KeepRemoteAccessConfByExtension and KeepRemoteAccessConfByName.

Shell History Files with Embedded Credentials

Detects credentials embedded in shell history files (.bash_history, .zsh_history, ConsoleHost_History.txt) including exported environment variable secrets, mysql command-line passwords, curl basic auth credentials, and sshpass invocations. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepShellHistoryByName.

Unattend.xml Administrator/AutoLogon Password

Detects plaintext passwords stored in Windows unattend.xml answer files, specifically the AdministratorPassword and AutoLogon <Value> XML elements used during Windows automated setup. These files frequently contain Administrator or auto-logon credentials in cleartext and represent a high severity finding when discovered on file shares or in software repositories. Mirrors Snaffler rule KeepUnattendXmlRegexRed.
